I get a huge chuckle every so often when I read the FAPA website and get in on the discussions. It seems that here at F9, the union is giving a rats behind about us commuters as usual, and there is now a huge fight over what we need in the next contract, the majority of the pilots want CASS and a commuter policy, while the Union sticks with their "this is a Denver Based Airline" crap, so the heat is on and I am enjoying the threads on the FAPA site. It seems that the Union and the company are too stupid to understand that a commuter policy is easy to set up and costs the company nothing, on the other hand they can continue to pay 2 pilots for the same trip, 1 being the pilot who called in sick, and the other pilot who will fly it, whereas if they would understand that if a pilot called in because he got stuck somewhere due to bad weather and his flight was cancelled, etc.. and couild not make it in, then he would just not be paid for what he missed and no loss of sick days or loss to pay him for a sick day, but the hard heads can stick to the notion of "This is a Denver based airline" mentality.
Maybe our new FAPA president will understand?
