Let me ask you this, how many flights is a couple of options? A couple sounds like two to me but is that really true? Will ALL chief pilots be ok with two options and no more? How much time before show is your second option supposed to arrive? Are you required to actively check weather a day or two ahead of time? Are you supposed to check for loads 24-36 hours ahead of time? Does commuter policy cover ground transportation and what are the unwritten rules for that? Will ALL cheif pilots rule uniformly for EVERYONE for all these questions?
Very good points. I'm no longer at SkyWest but while I was there R.G. in Denver was my chief pilot. Maybe things were more laxed back then compared to now. I missed one commute and he told me no biggie after I showed him I tried for 2 flights that would arrive an hour prior to show. He said keep doing that and he won't have an issue as long as it's not happening every week. But again with no contract that could just be his rule vs other CP's.Originally Posted by Nevjets
He also said he had called in sick three times in the last 8 months. That seems to be the rest of the story.Let me ask you this, how many flights is a couple of options?
