It was the FO that was sick and called CS in Carlsbad saying he would help the company by flying the leg to lax then would need to be replaced on the trip once in Lax. This was an ideal practice unless you were really sick, so you could get home while not canceling flights at an outstation. In this incident it burned the two pilots and the company, causing the FAA to come down on all parties and change policy at Skywest.
Who knows, maybe this loss of license thing that SAPA is focusing all the resources on may have helped the pilots in this case? /sarcasm

You're so brave on the Internet! As for the upgrade, come talk to me when you've jumped about 1,000 numbers ahead on our seniority list, since that's what you'd need to get ahead of me.

There seems to be a lot of people who want to help the company out and that is the difference SW had for a long time. But I just want to remind the new guys (or maybe all the pilots) of what happened when this FO helped the company out. His reward was a couple months off without pay and I don't remember the company having his back. I may have my facts off, but I thought there was a lot of frustration on SAPA's part as they were trying to help get both pilots back on the line and there was little support on the company side. This of course was back in the day when we had a President that wasn't afraid to call the company out and be vocal to the pilots of what was going on.

This was also at a time when CS would "coerce" someone who was calling in sick from an outstation, guilt-tripping people about cancelling or delaying the flight and refusing to provide transport home. The FAA slapped the company pretty hard about this, too, since it was on the tapes. Now, they only get to say "okay, we're taking you off the trip."

Won't need to move up. I'll just take the first upgrade next year and you'll get to fly with me when they TDY me to fly with you.

Is it possible for you to be any more clueless than you already are? What distorted version of reality do you live in? Anyhow, you're on ignore. I can't waste any more neurotransmitters trying to process your blather. Good day to you.
