Great advice for those weak hands who let CC ride roughshod.
Personally, I like the odd stoush with CC just to keep them on their toes, then invariably I get the supervisor anyway to clarify. In writing.
Another good one, when you are informed that your O day just "has" to be turned into reserve, because "you are the only one available" is this:
"Are you confirming with me that my Domestic Day Off is being arbitrarily turned into reserve?"
"Slurp, slurp, aaaaaahhh, yes, you are the only one available..."
"The ONLY one?"
"Yes"
"No one else on reserve?
"No"
"That would be interesting. Perhaps CAD should be informed that you have NO reserve coverage for flights and are turning crew days off into duties"
"Aaaaaaahh....caw you ba'."
.....phone hangs up. Back to O Day
Just stand up to these w@nkers. They just try and bully. Throw it back at them.
