Personally, when I see someone in a hat I think they are undermining our group by giving up our negotiating point for nothing. It may not be right, but it is how I feel, and I know a lot of others who dislike people wearing it as well.

A long time ago, when I was a new hire there, the base manager walks up and says "where's your hat"? I said, " In my closet, where all of my stupid looking hats are"
He rolled he's eyes and walked off

How are the commuting rules for Endeavor? On the profiles page it says list on 2 flights and no discipline if you don't make it? Also not sure exactly what this line means "Reserve pilots are allowed to travel to thier base during call out window on the first day Min day 4 hours" Thanks for the info!

"Min day 4 hours" should be on a line of its own on the profile - its a typo. If we work at all the minimum they pay us is 4 hours/day.
As for commuting on reserve you have the option to fly in during your callout time. For example on P2 reserve (1000-2400 availability) your callout time is 1:45. So the earliest you have to report for a flight on P2 would be 11:45 AM. Instead of having to be in base at 10 you have to be here by 11:45. Makes the difference for a lot of commuters.
