Humm, how to approach this think politically correct? Being married myself to the same person for over 40 years and also having been a pilot myself, while my wonderful Mrs. EX was a flight attendant, thank heaven with different companies, my first reaction to this report would be negative. There is no way to separate the personal situation from the professional duty. I give you an example of just being a passenger in a Supershuttle situation. The couple, long time married, worked so great together, but when the exit question came up, a real discrepancy developed. They painted it over nicely, but we felt the distress and the disagreement. Of course, the husband prevailed. This is in an airport limo. It ain't going to happen on my airline ( if I had one ) and I cannot agree with scheduling like this.
By the way, what's the implication if you know about this situation and refuse to be a pax on this flight?
