I am home 14-18 days a month.... just had a 5 hour sit the other day in LGA because of a cancelled flight and got a day room at a hotel about 2 mins from LGA. The "DO I HAVE A FUTURE HERE" campaign is an attempt to get trip rigs restored 3.5:1 and the attendance reliability program eliminated. Trip rigs going 3.5:1 would take care of a lot of the other issues (commutability, schedules, etc.).
I enjoy AWAC.... has mgmt. done some shady stuff? Yes... but we are paid well for flying 50-seat aircraft compared to the rest of the industry. Day rooms are nice...beats sitting in the airport for 5 hours waiting for your next flight.... its not THAT bad!!!!
So people stop coming to class? Then what happens Vikz? Even more people get pi$$ed off because they are getting junior manned and upgrades come to a hault because they can't afford to pull FO's off the line to take a checkride from the other seat. The campaign will run its course...AWAC will continue to fill classes....and the sun will come up tomorrow.
Hopefully your new regional treats you better!
