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’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...

Glad he landed on his feet, and that is sadly hilarious.
TG meddling totally makes sense.
He’s losing the crowd.

Fixed it for you.

I thought that laughter was the cure to everything.

I have no idea why people keep bringing up a commuter clause. If I had to take 3 flights, I’d have to come in the night before a trip every week. As long as your smart about it and don’t call out every week, they are pretty understanding.

See you made me chuckle. Thanks man. I needed that.

You really are that dense aren’t you, I’ve told you before there is not more to my story. Go ahead and call BV and ask him for yourself instead of trying to act like you know what you’re talking about. Now somehow I ran drugs on my day off, great story

Please, entertain me... personally... Since you seem to know what you’re talking about let us know what that individual in PDX did...
