We have families to return to and the more of us that report it the more it comes up and contracts get pulled and change happens. Report the condition of the vehicle too. Bald tires, inop seatbelts, warning lights in the dash, all unacceptable.

Pilots will file a grievance over a hotel room only having a shower and not a bathtub but will get in transportation outsourced to the lowest bidder with half a million miles on the vehicle and a dumbass driving like he’s in the final lap of the 500 drafting behind the lead car.
Absolutely! Excellent post. Riding on the van is not a hostage situation and I speak up regularly if I am not happy with someone's driving. I actually had a fellow pilot try and tell me I shouldn't tell a driver how to drive, and that we know the danger ahead of time and that it is just part of the job - I wish I was making this up. I couldn't believe it. I have to say I haven't reported these incidents to the hotel committee nearly as often as I should. I try and be professional and polite when I have an issue but have actually gotten pushback from drivers from time to time. I have only heard one other crewmember confront a driver and that was at my last airline, the guy was doing 80 on a farm road in Springfield, Missouri. I have seen the same maintenance issues you have here at Frontier - tire pressure warning lights, brake lights on the dash indicating they need service, brake ABS lights indicating the same, exhaust in the cabin so bad it gave me a headache, worn tires, etc. etc. I'm going to step up my reporting on these issues and encourage my fellow crew members to do the same.

A NYC limo company once ordered its drivers to strictly obey all traffic laws. The accident rate tripled, and so they were told to resume driving like everyone else did.

Good riddance ..
I’m sure they’re full of regret. I can see how you picked your username.

I don't think he said anything about regret. He just said he is glad they are gone.

No, he said:

That “fancy new contract” at F9 can result in some “butthert”.
