Ugh, research this thread the past 48 hours. Several commuters have stated outright that instituting the former NWA commuting policy would reduce sick leave usage. That tells me commuters call in sick when they can't get to work, in spite of the fact that they are not sick. YES, in my book, that's dishonest! And YES, we ALL know that happens. And to justify it because your based closed? GMAB! DFW closed years ago. Commute for a while until you can move your family, or quit and apply at AMR. If you want a six figure salary, occasionally you have to do things you don't want to do. Geeez.
Question for all: what do you think happens when a company moves its headquarters? Answer: you move or quit.
Question: what happened when you were in the military and you got transferred?
Answer: you moved or quit or got court martialed.
Question: How many rampers commute? How many corporate types commute? How many mechanics commute?
Answer: almost none.
Why do pilots view it as a birthright never to have to be inconvenienced?
