Yeah you’re right, I am unreliable. I didn’r take my job seriously at all and am so thankful that SkyWest taught me that lesson.....

If two sick calls while on probation is showing a reliability issue, then the company you work for sucks and you need protection. If you miss your commute for the first time and management throws two previous sick calls in your face, then the company you work for sucks and you need protection. If every single pilot at the company you work for tells you that you should have just called in sick instead of calling in honest, then the company you work for sucks and you need protection. If your BCP tells you that you that back in his day one would have to be close to their death bed in order to call in sick then the company you work for sucks and you need some protection. I don’t care how long you were there or what you heard, the situation isn’t a reliability issue, it was an issue of management that can do anything to a pilot group because there is ZERO protection, simple as that. Without writing stating what the definition of an honest effort is, then it’s up to management to decide what is considered honest. And honestly, management got that one wrong and that is why I continue to bring this story up. I told the company on my way out that I would for the rest of my career make sure that people knew all the details of this story

Not trying to come across as a p**ck, just getting sick of people saying “there is more to the story, or he had other issues”. This is a small industry, last thing I will let happen is my name to be run through the ground because of SkyWest and I guess I do get more and more defensive as time goes on
