Gotta take joe momma to brunch, so I'll answer Slow and Sailing when I get home.
But, FOR THE RECORD, I've NEVER called in sick because my commute got screwed up. I've got two "failure to commutes" in my file as proof. Ferd |

Take the emotion out of this topic and you have to see that a commute policy will cost us and not benefit the entire pilot group.
A non commuter but a CVG'er who may become one! As for commuting about 60% North and 50% of the South guys do already. That is about 55% of the group. That will go up, more bases will close and more will open. It comes to a point in ones life where you can not just pick up in go. ATL is senior and many guys live here, because they know they can or could. As for commuting policies only beneifiting half the list, well the A and B rates only benefit half the list;) There are just some benefits that we need even though they may not help "ME" It will help "US" |
Ferd,
You are old guard and in the end the entitlement issue that PG is getting at breaks along generational lines. I think that is where the overall beef seems to be coming from. Probably not this issue alone. |
Off to earn my living so I may continue my APC habit! Later ya'll....

Hope this helps... Nu Talking to the folks on the VRU line, they said in March we will be able to book JS on TravelNet. Lobo |

Bar;
At least you are commuting .... In completely unrelated news several I hear companies are gearing up to hire pilots who have ATL bases. UPS and AirTran among them. I'm not working either of those, but they might provide the antidote for some of us who are unwilling to chase this job around the country. With a $143 an hour and 81 hour reserve guarantee in the second year, it would be easy to jump off to UPS from DL third or fourth year pay. |

A long time ago, I heard one flight attendant counseling another about a long distance relationship. "Never move for a man" was her advice. Inevitably, when the relationship was over, she would find herself living in a city where she had no ties.
My version of this advice is "Never move for an airline". We are more likely than not to be commuters at some point in our careers.. Previously Houston, Miami, and Cincinnati based, with no ties in any of them. |

Scambo, I agree, I was stating that this is the cost the company will come at us with. The NWA policy would probably cost the airline 24,000 seats a year. Two per pilots and only on the way to work.
The question is can anyone outside of upper management get access to the data? |
