Can you summarize how the pilot self incriminated and would’ve been OK had he kept silent? I’ve got no desire to watch the entire video.

A message for pilots sitting reserve. Be where you are supposed to be. If you're on long call be available in 12 hours. If on shortcall be promptly available. You’re not screwing the company when you don’t honor your obligation. You’re screwing your fellow pilots.

Has the company been having issues lately with pilots not being available?

I don't know of any lately but in the last few years it has been a problem. I believe the Union got some jobs back a couple years ago...

I have had two friends screwed by their fellow pilots who can’t honor their obligations in the last week.

What’s with you and name calling? Were you bullied in high school?

alright, can you explain how your two friends got screwed? Coming on an anonymous board and saying it doesn't make it so. Details please.

I’d be interested in hearing about this, too. How were they “screwed,” Sailing? Was the PWA not complied with?

When you should not be the pilot flying a trip but they have to move down to you because the pilot who contractually was supposed to get the trip was not available you’re getting screwed.
More important than that however is when the company perceives it as a problem they seek remediation through contract negotiations and can back their need up with documentation. Sick leave is a prime example.

Not Sailingfun but I'd guess some guys that were on shortcall/longcall were not within the contractual response time (probably by a long shot) and his buds got called out in their place. Hence the screwing another pilot comment.
