Few airlines are in a position to be commute nazis... they know they don't want to pay a living wage in major hubs. Otherwise they would just require that you live within 5 miles of the airport center point.

I know of one first year pilot fired for a missed commute who was based in PDX.

Was it the same guy that was running drugs on his day off?? Haven’t heard of that. Maybe thats what he told you. But there is always more to the story...

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 know personally there is WAY more to this situation.

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.
