Problem is too many pilots don’t self help when wait exceeds the UPA… or they agree to a combined crew van when it’s not allowed. We are our own worst enemy on UPA transport compliance.
Exactly my point, and we have pilots like the one above who will make fun of anyone that does enforce it.

This week alone we have waited for transportation, and I applaud my captain for hailing a cab/uber right at block + 30.
If every crew hailed a cab and expensed the cost when the conditions were met we would be doing our part as a pilot group.

The transport companies would prefer pilots call and agree to share transportation and still get paid from United for multiple vans.

And you don't have to tag along with your capt...if he or she doesn't want to get a cab at 30 minutes leave him there.

at block +26, I’m on the Uber app or finding a cab. By the time +30 gets there, I want it taken care of. These transportation companies should track the flight and be there. No excuses

It's been pretty bad. Get a cab (Not Uber, for chrisakes, we're trade unionists) Expense it before you go to bed.

Also, quit tipping a buck, what is this, 1977? Your employer has been generous with you, be generous with those who help you do you job. That guy driving you from Newark to Manhattan owns the Mercedes you're in, and just gave you almost an hour of his time and expertise. And yet you tip the waitress who brought you your Nachos more than you do him. Duuuuuude.

Lastly, quit thinking our VP of labor relations is sitting in a corner of the NOC, monitoring your arrival and engineering a no-show in order to chip away at your morale.

Post-pandemic staffing challenges aggravated by cheap-ass pilots, but with easy contractual relief and prompt reimbursement.

There are some who do not tip drivers from what I have seen. Don't think too much into it. New FO's to senior CA's and a mix in between.

In many cities, yes. Not all of course.
