Apparently it doesn't matter how many flights you attempted to use before you called in for pos space; you're still going to get a letter telling you in so many words to plan ahead and be responsible. Doesn't matter if a couple of the flights you had planned on using were canceled; you still get a strike for using the policy.

Call me naive, but I thought the policy was to help reduce the stress of commuting. Guess one needs to still plan on coming in 8 hours or so before their day starts.

They put a policy out there and then you get a letter for using it one time. Way to stress a guy for actually using the policy.
It only matters if you give a sh!t about their letters, I do not. I'll continue to be responsible. If I need the policy, I'll use it. If I do it 3 times in one year and they tell me I lose it for a year, I'll say Great! I'll go back to the old policy. No stress whatsoever.
