Due to the abusive schedules, I'd call in fatigued five or six times a year. Some of my sick calls were also caused by fatigue. I'm sure the company already knows about this. I'm not going to apologize for making a safety-related decision (fatigue call), but I'm not sure I want these disclosed thorough the Pathways program.
Snacky has explained the problems with the Pathways program much more clearly than I can. One final note: The Pathways program is NOT a flow-through, and there is no flow back. If you get fired or furloughed from Alaska, then you're not a Horizon pilot again... you're an unemployed Alaska pilot.
