Hardly a false narrative, it’s a fact. Some pilots just dont obsess on the negative as much as others. You clearly are not cut out for commuting, which is fine; the irony will be IF they ever close your base, you’ll be the first on here to complain about the base closing and how it affects your life. Commuting doesn’t suck when you have close to a dozen flights and they are short ones at that. I tell everyone to live where they want. It is an amazing benefit. There are almost no other careers (outside of remote IT work) that can allow this. With all that said, you do have to be somewhat cognizant of airlines and domiciles. If you live in Miami your gonna be hating life commuting to SEA. To end: I actually “lived in base” once. It sucked. Big time. I had hardly any friends since I didn’t know anyone in town (outside of work) and no real connection to a city that, honestly, wasn’t great. 3 months later I started commuting “home” on days off. To each their own. |

Anyone know our general September pull down? Will this be September type schedule for the airline? Less or more? Do we make money in September or is it just a month trying to mitigate losses until the juicy months return?

Mistake number one.
it’s too bad this false narrative airlines and pilots have about being able to live wherever you want. I lived that nightmare for seven years. You don’t know what you don’t know was my problem. I wasn’t living where I wanted to live. I was visiting a house and my family where I wanted to live. I wasn’t actually living. Would I rather live there than in base? Yes, but living and existing are different. Now, about that soothing music sims LOA. Are you on board? |

The only thing we are really getting is that if we test positive for covid they will pay protect us and not use our sick bank. I guess it’s good, but since there seems to be a shortage of tests it’s going to be harder to prove. Otherwise if you are just quarantined due to an outbreak but don’t official have it, you will be pay protected but it will come out of your sick bank so it’s basically like calling in sick unless you actually test positive for it.

United offering “some” pilots in certain bases on certain types 50hrs to stay home in April. Keep any carry in you have from March on top of the 50. Many widebody and some narrowbody. This was already in their contract though not an MOU like ours

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk AND/IF/OR you are found to be positive for COVID15, you are still pay protected while being treated. So if you suspect you might have it, or might have flown a plane with someone on it, you're pay protected. This is according to what I was told. I don't trust the company, but I do not think this is something they will be messing around with . |

I do not believe that to be accurate based on the MOU, the email we got, and the discussion I had with someone in the MEC...From what I was told based on the agreement; You can be non-symptomatic and if told to seek medical attention, quarantine or evaluation, with possible suspicion of having COVID, you are pay protected.

I agree you are pay protected in both instances, however in the email is says “additionally” if you are confirmed to have then it doesn’t come out of your sick bank. If you are in a quarantine situation without having it you are pay protected but it would come out of your sick bank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
What if your sick bank is in the negative?

Then you have to pay the company
