For what it’s worth I have the same drive without traffic. 55 Miles, 1.5 hours was standard with rush hour. So I would always bid for RAP 1 (begins at 4am). If I got a 2hr call it was right at 4am and I had no traffic.
I’d drive a little closer to the airport during rush hour, and get breakfast then go home.
If traffic was worse than usual then that’s the way life is. I figured I could explain that there was an accident or whatever that made the drive longer.
In LA you could littleraly be sitting in Marina Del Ray, 20 minutes away and not make 2hrs if there was rush hour and an accident.
I just tried to be reasonable. Ready to go if they called, car packed.
Don’t beat yourself up over it.

Pro tip: if you're running a little late, call Scheduling, and ask to get patched through to your captain (or FO). Tell them you have a question about your trip (or something like that, but don't tell the scheduler you're running late). Once your captain answers (or you get his/her voicemail) tell them you're running a couple minutes behind schedule. They'll try to get some of your work done for you so you still push on time. I've been on both sides of the coin (asking and giving help), and it's worked beautifully. As long as the flight pushes on time, no one needs to know or will care if you're a few minutes late to the gate.

Anybody have a good contact for bonus payment(or lack thereof)? I hit one of the gates and didn't receive anything...a PM would be appreciated! TIA

All you need to do is email the cheifs. Let them know that you have reached a disbursement and they usually reply within a day. They will say the bonus shows up anywhere from 4-6 weeks however I received mine within 2 pay periods. In fact I'm due for my last one soon #nomoreprobation.

Lol he's had more of his FOs in the chiefs office than anyone at CPZ. Pick your fights. If you had a clue you'd know he's blacklisted at most carriers. Don't defend rats and company men. It's a bad look.

Apologies in advance, I searched and only found a thread from 2016 and making sure it’s “up to date”.
Is adding a travel companion on delta in place of spouse allowed? From the paperwork it looked like it was not. Just confirming.

No companions on delta only a domestic partner (2 forms in comply, 6 months of financial interedependence and shared residency). American will let you have a companion but only if you’re “single” and not in a partnership, regardless of if you add your partner to the bennies

Also curious about this PHX guy and want to hear more. In my books anyone that secretly sends a fellow pilot towards section 19 stuff is no bueno. We have one like that in Seattle too. All that said, don’t break the rules and you won’t have those problems
