We're doing a lot of deadheading to operate out of these new markets which must drive the bean counters nuts.

Another thing to consider here at SCA. Benefits are deteriorating and expect them to continue. Commuters beware. The latest.... If you park for more than 10 days at the employee lot you will either be charged or towed. So if you have more than 10 days off or you have vacation find a new place to park your car. Another reason this is not a commuter friendly airline and commuters should stay far away.

I have worked here for over three years. This has been the policy the entire time. It’s from MAC, not the company, and was clearly stated on the form I filled out to receive my parking pass.

Again, it’s a MAC policy that you can’t park for more than ten consecutive days. It has little to do with Kool-Aid. When was the last time you were on a trip what was longer than 10 days? I’ve only been on one 10-day trip during my time at Sunny, and I volunteered for it.
Bottom line, we need a lot of improvements if we are going to survive. Our new MEC chair has a big hill to climb with negotiations six months away (which, coincidentally, would be a good time to work out a fix for your parking concern). While I have my doubts about his ability to deliver what we need, I will throw all of my support his way!
