Sounds like this was the SFO CPO...... They were putting out threats like this during the virtual base visits for new hires a few years ago.... Luckily, I didn't touch SFO at all even though that was my initial award as a new hire...

There are plenty of people who have gone decades without missing a trip by commuting in days early and hanging out at their crash pad/hotel/mothers sisters brothers girlfriends house any time loads, or weather in base looked bad etc. You won't find much sympathy for missing a trip, especially when you're on probation.

Welcome to United. If you can't be on time, don't be new.

EWR. Apparently ORD has a similar stance. That said, that many missed trips will get you noticed. I’ve paid for hotels and even bought a confirmed seat to get to work. I rather pay $100 a ticket than to lose out on millions over the course of my career. Unfortunately, all this is part of the game if you’re a commuter |

Hard to believe it was the old EWR CP. I’ve heard nothing, but good things about him.

He didn't miss anymore trips on probation after that though. |
