Said NYC CP has been a problem child for a while and is welcome to think what they want to think. They’ll continue to try to bully the junior, the probationary, the contractually clueless, and the mission hackers… of which there are many. They’ll continue to get smacked by the union, and backpedal as soon as HR gets involved.

Bidding NY is a choice…

After probation the CP can pound sand.

Sounds like somebody shouldn't be a Chief Pilot. That being said, I think there are some pilots that abuse it. I've commuted a long time and not once had to use it.

The loss of pay with limited to no ability to make it up in the same footprint.

Delta has positive space commuting? Right now, today?

Very base and seat dependent.

Lots of people are able to make more money with less work picking up premium over their Commuter Miss footprint after the unfortunate circumstances that led to the CM are rectified.

What base and seat are you on? Sounds miserable, and people should probably bid elsewhere.
