Snide remarks aside, In base pilot's privileges do matter also

Don't care where ya' live, or how you use your travel privileges, any other benefit, or the contract

Just don't act like your circumstances trump another pilot's use of theirs

^^^^^^^
Bingo*

* (Still will check with other guy. Furlough recall that was run thru ringer or real need like wife/kids in back? Sure I'll defer, but have zero tolerance for the entitled that chose to commute and feel they should have higher priority in the JS when going to work)

Impossible! We're pilots and we eat our young. And we don't learn about our history.

It is, after all, just about ME!

I wouldn't use the word "chose", most of us commuters don't have a choice, and we don't enjoy wasting our time in the airplane. *IF* this would be a real airline *Delta* we would have a commuter *Delta* clause. Non-reving is as fun as getting a root canal, unless you work *Delta* for a real airline, that takes a little bit *Delta* more care of it's employees.

They're hiring, right?

Last I heard we have a commuter policy. If you don't get on the flight you go home or the company can choose to get you on to your trip mid sequence. No harm no foul.
In my opinion going home is more important than going to work.

Bottom line.

It's all pilots using their privileges in the way that suits them and their circumstance.

Everyone has the same travel privileges

Everyone's are just as important as anyone's

That would be great if that's how they've been implementing it. One missed commute since this "commuter clause" and I was counselled very strongly by the CPO for the gall of giving myself *only* 4 chances of getting to work. It was certainly communicated to me that it is certainly NOT "no harm no foul."

Hell, 6 months later I called asking for a trip buy and I got a talking to a SECOND time for it too. "No harm, no foul" my white ass

Which base, that's total BS. That cp was on drugs.
