<<"It's the responsibility of the employee to get themselves to work if they choose to live or travel outside of their domicile/base/whatever, not the airline. ">>
I'm guessing the the company you fly for never closed a domicile shortly after they opened it and you moved there, bought a house, found wifey a job and junior some new friends at a new school? Or they never parked a fleet and displaced a few thousand guys to other domiciles a thousand miles away?

Currently not flying for any airline. However if either airline that employs me closes up shop where I work, I'll either move, find a new job, or retire at a very young age.
Airlines close bases, furlough pilots, park cool airplanes, and go out of business almost every year. Welcome to the industry sir.

I'm pretty sure it was a UA guy here who threatened JS denials. Also I'd bet the guy with his kid was a management type. They will trump you at mainline.
I had to DH to an outstation from ORD a few weeks ago, I never had the time to check in because of it being a last minute schedule reassignment. When I went to the gate podium to get my seat a Mainline pilot came over in a huff as I was getting my boarding pass and said something to me and the gate agent about UAX pilots shouldnt be bumping him and calling the chief blablabla. I just looked at him, stunned. The gate agent seemed happy to tell him I was deadheading. I just added that a airplane full of UA pax was waiting for me in XXX .. Maybe getting the facts before you go off the handle is a good idea, because it sure made that dude look like a jackhole to whomever witnessed it.

You aren't the first person who's made that exact same statement. This is one of the consequences of changing retiree benefits.
