[QUOTE=gainzbruh;2477609]You know you were trying to dog on us so if you don't want to claim that now you're lying.
We fly slow most times because it's efficient. If you fly the block going in to a hub at least on the ua side they seem to have the gates open when you land. We're smart about how we operate sorry if that makes you mad, have fun getting worked up with that every time you hear it on the radio.
And I can assure you our pilots and people at our company know what they are doing.

Can someone please explain why SkyWest doesn’t have a commuter policy? Does everyone do the standard give themselves two flights before show time? What happens at SkyWest if you don’t make your commute?

Because it’s better that way. No need to have a set of rules for all and both sides to play by. Better to keep you wondering what is reasonable for all the different Cheif pilots. It’s better for you to ask on an anonymous forum to figure out what is the fail safe way of keeping yourself off the radar screen. So be careful what you ask for. You might actually get it!

If we had to have two flights available per a policy, half of the commuters would have to commute the night before to be within policy. Don’t want that.
If you start being unreliable and missing showntimes I’d then suggest not playing it so fast and loose. Until then don’t worry.

Your reasons for flying slow is to maximize pay because your contract or lack of it is archaic when compared to the rest of the industry. Other posters seem to agree. But you want to make it more than that, and it sounds stupid. I don’t get worked up at all. As I said I just shake my head. You may have heard at some point in your training about one of the things you’re required to tell ATC is that you plan on flying less than 10 knots or 10% of your filed TAS? You may have heard other pilots advise that they’re slowing down because of a bumpy ride. Most don’t just do it. Now please answer my questions, if you’re able to. Do you guys fly the airspeed you’re filed for? Because like I said, if you were wheels up at the planned time (which is also filed with ATC) and you fly your filed TAS, you should be very close to your scheduled arrival time. Not 45 minuets early as you claim. I’m just wondering why you insist on defending this system? As clearly, these practices are in the minority in this industry

Why don't you come here and find out? You know so much you may even be able to run the training program yourself. That's what you want, I know it!

[QUOTE=gainzbruh;2477651]Bla, bla, bla, your inexperience is quite obvious. Why are you avoiding my questions? Oh nevermind, see my first sentence. I hope someday you all take value in yourselfs. Because inc has it damn near impossible to fly at or over block without being late. They reap almost all of the benefits, while you guys get $hit. Quit selling yourself short and start helping to raise the bar like the rest of the industry.

Hah.
It's funny because you quoted yourself and started with the line of "your inexperience is quite obvious".
