What difference does that make? Don't FOs and CAs at the same company at the same company wear pants?

Unless you're driving an hour away to hang out at Wal-Mart, why would you wear you pants and bring your luggage? I also live 30-45mins from the airport and I will often sit reserve on the beach or on the boat in the summer. Just check that phone often when getting out of the water!

I am sure many will echo this, but reserve in base vs. commute to reserve are totally different jobs. Even a 30min flight to a place like EWR or LGA can turn into a nightmare with weather, other jumpseaters, ATC flow, etc. Commuter clauses. Get em, learn em, love em.
