Mostly I agree with you but the company does have a responsibility of care as much as we the pilots have a duty of care to do our jobs to the best of our ability. Now thats say there is a big cat 5 bearing down on Cancun and I mean the eye predicted to hit. Nothing is going to be going in or out so why not keep the crew out of harms way in Miami and soon as the eye has passed position the crew in so that they are ready to operate the return sector. The argument of the company that we need you there during the storm is a farce as Cancun was shut for days after Katrina so the crews that were left their suffered appalling and life threatening conditions needlessly and in the end where unable to operate as had no rest or proper food for days. The point i am trying to make is that there is a limit to what is acceptable and what is not.
