Stop being such cheapskates. It’s pathetic and embarrassing hearing highly compensated pilots whine about nonrevving. It’s like seeing boomers scream at fast food employees for getting their order slightly wrong. Embarrassing.
I worked Fast food back in the early 80’s during high school . Got snarled at many a time by young people . Not sure where it’s exclusive to “Boomers” who get mad at fast food workers. So if we had to buy confirmed space for less tickets every time to get home , wouldn’t we still be bumping off other “Non Revs” ? Why would you be an advocate for having us buy tickets when we should just simply be able to list positive space home as a working crew member . Yes we “choose” to not live in base . If the airlines made everyone live in base they would not be able to employ nearly enough pilots and Flight Attendants, otherwise the airlines would have forced that along time ago . I’ve been doing this for almost 30 years ,plus the years as a Flight attendant in the 80’s for a Major airline that sadly has been gone for a long time now. The old way of doing things for 50 years regarding commuting pilots and Flight attendants needs to be put out of its misery and time to embrace a new way . Commuting pilots and flight attendants generate hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue . PS to and from work is and should be a no brainer . I believe JB will have it in their contract soon .
