I get what you’re saying but trust me, without a policy SkyWest can fire you for anything really, and that’s what the SAPA guys told me. The funniest thing is I was advised I should have just called in sick by multiple people, that’s a great culture to have at an airline... :/
Not trying to knock SkyWest at all, it was a solid place I thought but I will be happy to go the rest of my career without running into the guy that wanted to make an example of me
If you called in sick for a missed commute, they would consider that dishonesty, which is the one thing which will get you fired real quick-like. Multiple attempts to nonrev or JS followed immediately by a sick call would leave a paper-trail a mile wide.
For others, if you miss a commute, call in honest, not sick. Sick days are not personal days at SKW. That way if they're short on reserves they can work with you to get you where they need you to be.
