It really is dumb. PSC does not erode anyone’s seniority. Everyone still gets on as a non-rev according to their date of hire.
Also, it blows my mind that people who make upwards of $200k/year don’t just buy tickets. We even have a discounted option! You know what our loads are like, you’re making the conscious choice to do that to yourself.
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.

We can talk about to from work all you want, but complaining you couldn’t go on vacation because someone had to get to work is silly.

At least you got on. I’ve had my family members bumped completely for PSC commuters going out with three empty jumpseats. (2 cockpit, 1 cabin). Can someone explain why I should support that as a (currently) non-commuter?
The “cheapskate” argument holds no water. If you’re not buying tickets to commute to and from work you’re a cheapskate too. In fact, buying tickets to work should be all that much easier with the income taxes you’re saving down there in FLA!

I purely meant nonrev on personal time. I would never buy a ticket to work. I’d just use the policy, and if they don’t bump a paying passenger off, then so be it. If they take me off the rotation with no pay, fine; I’ll enjoy my time off.

Screeching about non getting on or not getting first class is what’s embarrassing. At no point in time has nonrevving been a guaranteed seat. It has ALWAYS been a game of roulette.
Nonrevving never came up once during my interview, nor did it ever come up in my personal calculus for taking this job. With how full flights are (even prior to COVID), it’s barely a perk. I treat it as a gamble, and when I have specific events to make it to, I buy a ticket like a normal person who is capable of making risk management decisions. I don’t go onto the internet and whine about seniority.

It has ALWAYS been a gamble, never a guarantee. Prove me wrong.
