Aeroncaman....
Sometimes quite the reverse..... I have tried to explain this to a few aircraft owners now and all I hear is the answer that CargoOne forwarded. They pay a lot of money, they want to go where they want, when they want.
One owner even suggested that if anything happens, adrenaline will kick in and we will be wide awake to deal with any problem. This is after I refused to operate a "scheduled" 18 hour day.
No pride involved from this side, but I do know what you mean.
