"Choosing to commute" haha I was in 8 different bases over 3 years. I had no choice to commute. If you go to Republic, you will have to either commute sometime, or quit. Bases open and close at a whim. I am lucky and have been in the same base for the last year now, but......

NOT factually accurate. The only way they can pull you from the line and 'force' you to go to counseling is if they have reasonable suspicion. There is not a court in the land that would uphold "having a couple of beers on your day off on a nice afternoon" as reasonable suspicion of an alcohol problem. If they want to go down that road, they better lawyer up. If they try it, they are counting on you not being able to afford the lawsuit or being too chicken sh!t to fight it. Just be sure to keep track of legal expenses and lost pay during so you can include that in the settlement!

You're beyond naive... Lets hope in the future none of us are worried about junior mans because they'll be a distant nightmare. Simply giving sound advice to inexperienced, probably probationary pilots who could potentially put themselves in a career ending/altering scenario by being a smartass to scheduling.
Freezing, Esq., feel free to use the "I'm drinking" defense next time you're in the mood to pick up a company call on your day off. Then put your money where your mouth is while our all powerful unions go to bat for a regional FO in court trying to disprove the company's suspicion of your alcohol issues. All the while being on unpaid leave...smell the roses, it has happened and will undoubtedly happen again if we keep telling guys to, "just say you're drinking".
Don't pick up the phone. If you do tell them you're in Alaska visiting your fourth cousin once removed, Spank.

That is absolutely ridiculous. They can't just pull you from the line without pay because you're legally enjoying an adult beverage on your time off. You aren't even on duty.

But at this point, I feel like we have exceeded the scope of OP's question. How to avoid getting junior manned could be a whole thread in and of itself, possibly to rival the Comair threads! RAH sucks; them's the facts Emma.

The Republic carriers have some bases that would work for me. (I know, they can change at the drop of a hat). Anyway, with the recent slamfest (justified as it may be) is there anything redeeming about Republic? Is there any part of working there that would be preferable to another regional?
Thanks,
Emma
