It is people like you that give pilots a bad name, you know the ones that call in sick whenever they don't feel like going to work/think they deserve holidays off when they can not hold it. Quick question what is your seniority level in your base? Generally speaking the more junior you are the more you have to work....

Nobody cares that you got the perfect attendance award from your chief FA!

I picture he is sitting in a forgotten closet at Comair clutching his orange stapler.

You assume too much, it's making you look like an arrogant, misinformed fool.

I've allowed this to go on far too long and continuing is pointless.

Match, don't waste your time with that D Bag. He isn't worth the effort.

Yea because you admitting to calling in sick when you are not sick is really making you a credible person . You are probably a Junior Captain who thinks he deserves whatever day off he wants because you have worked for Skywest for probably 6-8 years. Good job Leon. Now go eat some more Panda Express.

Not sure why I’m explaining this to someone like you but they closed my base which forced me to start commuting and no one expects 98 block hours even during the busiest month of the year. As for calling in, my family comes first..... period! SkyWest understands that and doesn't have a punitive policy.

Its posters like you that deter possible contributors and give forums a bad name. I don’t say this often but you are a tool. You’re probably some keyboard punching smart mouth who grows a pair when he’s hiding behind a screen name. But go ahead and say you’re not, we all know better.



More bases closed recently?

Not in years, but what does it matter? It would still suck.

Damn, you’re pretty pathetic. No one deserves anything in this world and we're entitled to nothing. Once again you assume too much………..

These boards are here for productive conversations, not for trolls like you to get your rocks off. You must be overcompensating for other inadequacies.

I'll be the bigger man here, this is over.
