Does Skywest have a program for this?

Don't worry. SkyWest's union will be all over this. They will be able to help him, get him into HIMS, and he will be all right.

Wait? SkyWest doesn't have a union?

You sound stupid, SkyWest will put him into HIMs without an unions to do it. Because it the right thing to do.

Not only do we have hims, we don't get last call 12 prior like all the alpa boys. You can have your 12 hours.

HIMS offers no protection after the fact.

Not that it seems to make a difference. Don't push your luck if 8 hours is a target to you.

HIMS won't offer protection or guarantee of keeping your job after the fact, but you can still enter the program after the fact to get yourself help.
Keeping or getting your job back will not be guaranteed regardless of union or not.

Anxiety? Just be responsible. There's a big difference in having a few glasses of wine or a couple of beers then dropping hammer before you fly with a 6 pack and a couple of patron's.

Know your limit and if the stars are lined up perfect with the hottest chick you ever met then go for it and call out sick the next day.

Just be responsible and then you won't have any anxieties.
