I never implied that the entire workforce does this - but to deny that it never happens is nothing but wrong - because it does and a lot more than what some would think.
Even if OPS can't always keep them on the trip - it's the principle that certain crew one second are willing to bend their agreements to their own benefit and another second not simply because there's nothing in for them.
That's the harsh - but very honest - truth.
It's the same on WW and I have seen it with my own eyes - crew "dragging" out on certain things on an HKG flight to extend their duty times with a couple of times to get another box payment - things they normally wouldn't if it was a charity trip from BOM.
