All I'm saying is that it shouldn't be black or white.
If I happen to be divorced and my kids are overseas, I'm going to be flexible with my roster to suit my needs and those of my kids.
More money won't make me a better father, being there when I can is.
This is not a captain vs fo issue, just that we live different lives and there are often valid reasons for the choices we make.
What are we talking about anyway, there is absolutely no mandate from the AOA prohibiting anyone from working on a g day or on leave.
I have never worked on a g or leave day, except when I diverted due to a typhoon. That was in my best interest, but I don't think that applies to everyone.
