It happens--just because you haven't seen it happen in your probably-shorter-than-mine career doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
How long have you been an airline pilot?
That's irrelevant. My point was that I've been reading for years on this forum and others that ILL DENY THE JUMPSEAT yada yada yada blah blah blah.
It's all the internet tough guy persona.
I have 2 friends at G7 both of whom commute and they've not once been denied.
Just like these YV Captains who claim they'll deny new hires because of small stuff.
The ONLY confirmed instance I've ever heard is that TSA lady captain who apparently denied everybody the js.
Life's not always fair or just. If they ever sign a new agreement and new hires are getting 40/hr, should those of is getting 22/hr demand back pay? No.
Well I'm guessing 90% or more of us would have a damn iPad regardless of working at Mesa or not. It's so worthless getting worked up about.
Yes, I'd have loved $1000 extra each month for housing. Oh well- I didn't get it. And as someone else said, people coming in are likely unaware of these bonuses being new.
For me- I was unaware that they didn't always provide housing for training until I read that.
Things obviously change.
Gotta roll with it and pick your battles man.
