A recent call to one of our colleagues (a330) became very heated after he said no, a member of upper management became involved and told him to go fly or else.
This happened a few weeks ago.
A few years ago a neighbor (777) had a similar conversation.
He has since left the company, his departure was not related to the call.
As for the suggestion that you name your price, don't go down that road......what you are saying is that Iam available but won't do it unless. That is grounds for being fired.
Bottom line, this company and all companies will not park airplanes just because people have a bbq planned for that evening. If you are the last person on the list then the conversation will become heated quickly.
