I must admit that even I can't condone what this guy did.
Leaving kids stranded at Heathrow with stressed out parents trying to cope with being a day behind schedule on their holidays is pretty poor form really. If your going to go, go like a man not like a mouse.
I liked the story about the guy that laid his uniform and books out on the bed and left the hotel (that was actually funny) this guy is just weak by the sounds of it.
Choices:
1. Stick it out for 3 months and take more abuses while seniority passes you by at a new job.
2. Quit and run without notice and CX comes after you (in a big way) for 3 months salary PLUS 3 months worth of housing allowance.
3. Get sacked and get PAID 3 months.
I'd take the latter, thank you very much!
Kids stranded at Heathrow?? That's why they have reserve crews, mate!
Me? I just love to see CX get screwed!!
