This is an airline? |
You know what, if I were a captain for that airline, I would go to HR and tell them exactly that. What are you going to do if someone screws up and you've asked me to babysit them? Are you going to cover me and defend me if there's any liability as a result?
If the answer isn't no, and it's not in writing from the chief counsel of the airline, I ain't doing it.
Fire my ass. It's better to be fired than to be responsible for the liability that may be incurred if one of the crew I was supposed to babysit does something stupid.
