I bet they didn’t have more than 15 minutes of reserve fuel when they touched down!
I almost always side with the pilots. NOT THIS TIME! They screwed up BIGTIME and they lose!
And, I agree completely.
Too often pilots are convenient scapegoats, but as much as I would like to give them a break, this is ... off the scope.
Actually, losing their tickets would be pretty benign punishment for the pilots, and the union knows this. (Meaning, that the Union is probably just firing for effect, pretending to be angry when they are really mystified that it's not worse...so far.)
