me of a new regional aviation director who told us we all had to step up to the plate and do more OT to cover open shifts because our op couldn't afford to "pay for" relief pilots.  One savvy old guy set him straight and the two of us chimed agreement while the one remaining full time pilot looked on in disbelief at the disrespect aimed at the dizzy headed new guy.  The choking for words was amusing.  The old guy had no time for bs and was good at letting it be known when it surfaced.
