I know that flow/Cpp programs are sold as something awesome, yet the data shows it takes a while, however it's a nice thing to have in your back pocket/ another tool in the tool box.

Mesa gets one, yet we as the largest regional out there have nothing

Don't disagree with this as at all, flow is good, and should be pursued. BUT, I do wonder what happens as the pilot shortage worsens and majors feel pressure to keep their regionals manned? For example, the recent past with Horizon. Their must have been pressure on AS to NOT poach their own Horizon guys. I have heard Horizon pilots say something to that effect that they feel they are at a disadvantage getting hired at AS.

It’s not about you. It’s about the majority. Sucks to be in the minority, but a commuter clause will work for most people. Will be fighting for it soon.

There are many things which could be done to improve SKW, relative to recent industry developments. But I think you'll be end up wishing you had spent the negotiating capital on something other than a commuter clause which will have strings attached... the company is simply not going to let every commuter call off one trip per month carte blanche.

UPGRADE QUESTION..

When are you considered to be based at your new domicile as a CA? I have an event in June that I'm currently using golden days for and I have to be there. Would I be able to use move days in place of those if they aren't available?
