It's really frustrating to check-in for the flight home with one standby and a few airport standby, then fly all day, get to the gate ready to go home and discover you are no longer on standby and 30 folks "checked-in" in front of you...

I'm not complaining about the rules, I'm not happy about the rules being implemented incorrectly or not followed. Yes, I'm watching it closely and I'll be submitting documentation. The sad part is management will consider it an isolated incident while I believe it is more systemic.

Of course, airlines can make you paranoid, so, anybody else noticing this?

Examples like this which is why we aren't treated like we should be or what we're "worth" by DAL. Can't fly RNAV off the runway in ATL, Whitestone climb, and we have new hires not even out of the school house acting like children. Hopefully someone from the training department sees that and washes him out in sims. Its pretty disgusting the lack of professionalism I've seen and continue to see. Oh but we deserve flow, contractual career progression, same commuter policy's as Delta, yadda yadda yadda. This regional seems like more of an adult day care each day. I am not making this a blanket statement to everyone but some of us need to grow the f$%# up.

If you have put in a certain amount of time here paying your dues, taking pride in yourself and your work, with a good performance record and attitude, that should be enough to have earned something better than the same interview as a random applicant off the street. Hopefully people more intelligent than I in the union and management can find some way to differentiate between those of us that care and the entitled dirtbags.
