Good post, Cactus.
On a (slightly) similar theme, there have been a couple of posts on Q-proon with guys saying they're resigning from the 'Advisory Committee'.
You have got to be sh*!!ing me. These committees are VOLUNTARY! Guys have been volunteering their own time to go in to the office for meetings in order to help management pilots do their job. QF made $500 million last year and they rely on pilots to VOLUNTEER to help them out. As a group, we are absolutely pathetic. Here's an idea- if you want to volunteer for something, ring the salvos.
When it comes to work, go to work, sign on, do your job exactly as required- nothing more, nothing less- sign off, go home. Don't answer the phone if the number is blocked. That's it.
