Nothing, the largest regional pilot group has been promised rainbows and unicorns instead. Oh but wait, the reason Endeavor and republic got better contracts is because of the amazing Skywest SAPA agreement. Barf

This is one issue i want nothing to do with. Our lack of a policy is in my opinion a benefit to us. For instance last week i had my first missed commute in 2 years. called off and no issue, then caught up to my trip and took it back. If we had this standard policy then i would have been in trouble for not giving myself 2 options to get to work. I never give myself 2 options so would be violating the policy. I am not a repeat offender so will never hear about it. even if i had more missed commutes i would never about it.

I hate we are not unionized or that the group voted in a bad contract.

You are like word302 in the compass forum. Always popping in day by day when you don’t even work here.You must be senior to have enough time to come in here day by day and throw your hatred around each day at this airline.

Sorry lol, the OO forum would be boring without you though. I always get a good chuckle at your posts.

Reading comprehension problem? You would have been covered under the second half of the contract language that I had written. Get bumped off of one flight and you are covered as long as it does not occur more than 3 times in one year and you can pick up your trip.

Don’t waste your time. Too many pilots here outright refuse to attempt to understand or grasp any new idea or concept that doesn’t already conform to their narrow, preconceived notions on how things currently “are” or “should be”

Cognitive biases run rampant in this pilot group. To our own detriment unfortunately.

I'm fairly certain that he couldn't be working for Horizon now if he was arrested or charged for running drugs.

Chuckles huh? Glad I can humor you. I find it sad really that you’re able to blow off statements regarding Skywest’s downhill slide and laugh about them. To me that that seems like the underlying problem at Skywest. There’s to few with kahunas big enough to fight for what you’re worth.

I know personally there is WAY more to this situation.

I’ve been given a SAD when I have given myself 2 flights to get to work. My second option to SFO was hit with flow. I did not call off the trip and said I will get there as soon as I can. They didn’t have any reserves and my original flight departed 15 minutes late.

TG was sitting in crew support when the person was calling in. Gave himself more than 2 flights to go PDX-SEA. Weather rolled in and Horizon was canceling half of the flights and the other half were running really late and all full. Delta denied him the jump on a SkyWest operated flight because he did not know his PNR number. Last flight was a SkyWest CRJ that looked good but durin* boarding had a mechanical and needed to swap airplanes.

He did make the mistake by calling the Chief Pilot and not just calling off emergency. I made the same mistake commuting to SFO. Things you don’t really know to do when you are in your first 6 months at the airlines. He tried to do the right thing but in the end he got screwed. And yes he could have made the drive but from what I understand he took the train to Pdx and would have had to rent a car. Thought he could make the last flight but that went on mx. Due to the missed commute we had to cancel an Alaska BOI standup from SEA. TG wanted his head to roll to show Alaska we are serious...

The funny thing is the FO in question now works for Horizon. So we terminated him for Alaska and Alaska hires him...
