Yawn……typical widget mentality. “Back in my day we didn’t have PSC so you shouldn’t either!” All just mad cuz they decided to move to a base. Get over it PTC boys…..commuters outnumber you.

Setting aside Positive Space, I can probably get along using the jumpseat or grabbing the handful of open seats. My issue is that I went from 8 flights a day pre-covid to 5 now and that has made the requirement for a backup flight untenable. I end up showing 5 hours prior to sign in. Can we at least all get behind just a single flight that arrives some reasonable designated time prior to sign in. There are several other airlines that have this and I don't see how it would negatively affect non commuters in any way

Well if we’re being technically accurate, that’s true. Unlike FAs and dispatchers, the operation stops when a pilot isn’t in place as assigned.

The to/from work S1B fixes most of these issues.

my FOM shows a minimum number of FAs to complete the flight, and also requires an operational control person on the other side of the ACARS terminal. Yours may vary

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

Get on the nonrev FB page. There's a lot of shenanigans going on and plenty of reasons to complain. The gate agents aren't consistent. Also, I throw down the S2 card early to see who I'm really gambling with.

Aren’t there a whole group of managers who get unlimited high priority and yearly passes? They must be the glue that holds this place together.

I can probably get behind this but it shouldn't be the norm to get PS, it should be the exception.

In 2007 I used to have 8 mainline flights per day on my commute by the end of 2008 it was down to 4 RJs. Them's the breaks of commuting. I had to 2 leg it some days and go the night before on other days. I only ever missed 1 commute due to responsible commuting practices.
