Man o man.. I done trying to explain what happened.. so here is the bullet points
-Hired Oct 2017, made it through training with no issues and well within the footprint.
-Commuted to ORD, LAX then SEA while living in PDX
-Had two sick calls while at SkyWest, one dated in Feb and the next was a week earlier in May, these were legit sick calls that I truly felt that flying a plane wasn’t the right and legal thing to do. How I gauge that is if I bend metal, will I have done explaining to do on my health at the time...
-Mid May, I gave my self not 1, not 2 but 4 options to get from PDX to SEA. See I drove when possible, but on a whopping 1800 a month take home gas money wasn’t abundant. All QX flights were hosed, the OO Delta flight I missed due to a listing issue that is well documented. A flight that had open seat BTW, a situation that management didn’t take into consideration at all. Then another SkyWest CRJ that was late.
-The missed flight was a CDO that I had been given 12 hour call out. I was called at 845am for an 845pm show. I had proof being at the airport by 430 trying to list on that first Delta flight. Doesn’t sound like an unreliability issue to me
-Originally fired, although I didn’t just roll over. I reached out to SAPA and other resources, then was allowed to resign.
Those are the big points... Full story is buried back in another SkyWest Page.
