Default Dear United Mainline,

On behalf of all United Express crewmembers, some of which make only about $20k a year or less, please don't make us pay $40 for a round trip to commute to work.

At the very least please allow us to list for the jumpseat online. Many of your gate agents (not all but most) are very unhelpful and treat us like an inconvenience.

Thank you.

Or at the very LEAST, allow 1 city pair to be designated as a commute to work free segment. Just one pair. Why is that so hard for them to do?

Why are people still willing to take a job that pays 20k a year? It makes no sense...

Hold on, so let me get this straight. When you list as non rev now, you have to pay $20 each segemnt? So you can avoid this by showing up an hour prior to list as jumpseat and get a seat in the back and not pay? But sometimes we can't be there an hour prior and we list early in the day or day prior and check ourselves in and now we have to pay? And sometimes yes gate agents aren't able to help us so we get left behind or we are forced to pay the $20. I get this right? Man just when you thought things couldn't get worse
