Nolightoff,, Just hush up and pay your dues "little man". It'll all come in time. I made 20k a year for years at the regionals. Unless your coming from the military(never held a job),, born with a silver spoon crammed in your ***,, your going to have to pay your dues 2x. Just the way it is. Be happy and really enjoy the ride.

From what I understand, it's $20 PER LEG if it's not on your own Metal. Mainline guys commuting on Express carriers will have to pony up $20 bucks too. If you can commute on your own metal, you're good.
This is how it was explained to me.
Absolutely mind boggling.

If this is true Smisek will be in for a rude awakening if he tries to make UAL mainline pilots and FAs pay to get to work......

If this happens, it will mean $80+ a month for me to get to work. Do you know how easy it is for me to burn 10x that in fuel burns. Not to mention mtc write ups. They may take money out of my check, but they won't make any money on me.
And...I will not wrongfully deny a united pilot a jump seat, but there will be no more "making it work" to get one on. If the numbers don't work, they just don't work. No favors...unless you got $20 in your hand.
