Same for personal leave for immediate family being hurt or passing away. Plenty of time off given to my buddy. No questions asked!
Thats why i say some Characters on here..... smh. We are not enemies. Live long and prosper my friend. Be grateful! Enjoy life. Its all in the State of Mind. Be the great pilot group, fight where you need, take the crumbes where you can, and before you know it you'll have a loafs worth sooner rather later.
MEC, Sched committee said improvements are on the way, GREAT! Promulgate that!!!!!!! Such distrust on the positives? Trust the negative, think you can do his job? Hate it so much? Think you can do a better job faster? Then volunteer, learn the ropes, and run for a union position or chairman and change things!
I have flown with commuting FO's for years as our schedules have deteriorated. Commuting FO's with kids at home. Now they get to try to commute, many working uncommutable trips with two days off in between. Maybe you're friends are new to the industry or single. To either group I can see how they say "it's not that bad." Bad is probably all they have known. The norm is much better than what we currently have. My Fo found 2 lines that were commutable and high time for October. I guess "it's not THAT bad".
