Not sure why I’m explaining this to someone like you but they closed my base which forced me to start commuting and no one expects 98 block hours even during the busiest month of the year. As for calling in, my family comes first..... period! SkyWest understands that and doesn't have a punitive policy.
Its posters like you that deter possible contributors and give forums a bad name. I don’t say this often but you are a tool. You’re probably some keyboard punching smart mouth who grows a pair when he’s hiding behind a screen name. But go ahead and say you’re not, we all know better.
It does suck that your base closed, no doubt about that. When that happened you had 2 choices. Move or commute. Obviously you chose to commute for your family which is indeed a noble cause. That being said with that choice you have to live with the perils that come with commuting.
It is people like you that give pilots a bad name, you know the ones that call in sick whenever they don't feel like going to work/think they deserve holidays off when they can not hold it. Quick question what is your seniority level in your base? Generally speaking the more junior you are the more you have to work....
