I wouldn’t make a habit out of commuter miss, but sick isn’t the only way to get out of a trip, rogue douchebag LGA chief pilots be damned. And said douchebag chiefs definitely don’t include RM. Can you provide any stats on how many LGA pilots have been terminated specifically because of utilizing (not abusing) the commuter miss section of the contract?

As far as terminated, a few. Not too many. But they do make your life difficult.

missing trip pairings due to denied boarding.
5. A pilot may use the commuter policy as necessary with no
limitations."

LGA is the base where the APA reps actually brag about what good friends with the chiefs they are.
LGA is the base where chiefs call pilots with information they only could have received from the union.
LGA is the base that habitually violates our commuter clause and gets nothing but crickets from our union (they all must be out boating together all the time).
LGA is the base with the reps that tell pilots that want enforcement/change that they should have stayed at their Regional.

So how bad is LGA for someone who does not play any games to begin with? I’m sure I’ll likely get LGA out of the gate and I’ll be a commuter. I commute from ORD, so there’s tons of flights, so I don’t intend to play the one shot game. But this is a little unnerving to hear. I figure with probation and what not of being extra cautious. What other advice do you all have for someone to ensure survival in LGA as a probationary new hire?

The mere fact that you are thinking about “behaving” means you’ll be fine, regardless of what base you get. Granted I was not based there as an FO but have been on the private boards since the merger and have only heard relatively minor burbles about LGA chiefs. LGA reps on the other hand…
