So basically we were lied to the entire time SAPA was selling this "benefit" Nice.

And also, I think it's still pretty ridiculous we don't even have an actual policy we can review.

Keep up the good work SAPA.

I'm guessing you are commuting from PDX from a west coast domicile and feel that is unjust.

I know many E175 guys who commuted for a year before they were able to hold SEA, DEN, SFO, LAX. If anything you could have held SEA on this vacancy and had an easy commute...

You will get PDX when your seniority holds it and there is a vacancy. Also horizon is getting those jets as they have a contract for them. If you were at the company long enough you would see that PDX is positive reserve coverage everyday this month, which is not how OO operates. They like running it lean. Look at RSV coverage in SEA, LAX, DEN, SFO and it's all negative. Until PDX is understaffed there will not be a vacancy.

My advice stop acting entitled as eventually you will be PDX based, and this is a part of the job.

In all seriousness there are so many moving pieces anyone who tells you something staffing wise is "going to happen next month" is just guessing. Just because more flights are happening out of PDX does not mean they'll be flown by PDX crews. High reserve levels suggest the base could be already staffed. SEA was overstaffed a few months back and they reduced the total compliment by something like 20-30 bodies a month after awarding a ton of people the domicile. That should tell you how fluid this entire thing is.

Geez, don't project your browsing history in my computer. I live abroad and they might be blocking foreign entry.
