Once again, stupidity raises its ugly head. People who know absolutely nothing about how airlines work are now experts. They acquired this knowledge because their flight was canceled. Airlines are in the business of moving people. When airplanes don't fly, they don't make money. Flight crews are paid by the "moving" minutes. Brake release starts their pay, brakes set at the gate ends their pay. Absolutely dozens of outside events that are out of they airlines control effect their business model. Pilots get time off and if they want to spend that time protesting their job conditions, it's their right. Pilots have the lowest % of alcohol related work problems. Somebody quotes a cab driver about his "experience" with pilots and this person thinks that that is a reliable source. Get a grip people, pilots aren't the problem.
