I have a couple of questions about the Commuter Clause. It says the following:

"Any crewmember commuting to an assignment under the terms of this program must be listed as a non-revenue passenger on at least two (2) flights with available seats no more than forty-eight (48) hours, but not less than twenty-four (24) hours in advance of the scheduled departure time of the flight that he / she expects to use to commute to work. Such non-revenue listing may be on-line in the US Airways System; or on Code Sharing partners; or off line with acceptable documentation.
Both the primary and back-up flights must be scheduled to arrive at the airport in advance of the show time where he/she is assigned to commence a trip."

1. My understanding is that listing on two flights between the same city pairs on the same date is prohibited under the US (and AA) travel rules. How are we expected to meet the requirement to list on two flights without violating the non-rev rules?

2. When it says that there must be seats available no more the 48 hours and no less than 24 hours out, how do we prove that there were seats available? Are they able to look back at the loads to verify?

Thanks for the insight.
