Not commuter friendly because the 195 does not fly sat-tue-wed. So you have a bunch of single days off that you can’t go home on. It’s great if you don’t commute.
And then there’s the A220 flying which currently is horrendous. Single days off , some guys not able to go home for months. They did apparently fix the schedules this month by combining bids from multiple bases in order to award consecutive days off . That’s yet to be seen.
The QOL is slowly improving and the pay is a lot better now. So things are trending in the right direction.
So instead of just accepting reality back in January, they chose to build a bunch of bad will between the pilots and management, a bad reputation among the people who had their flights cancelled last minute earlier in the year, and have ALPA on property now, only to have to start acknowledging reality 8 months later and make some minor improvements.
