So if you make two attempts to commute you get to try again the next day. No reprimand, unpaid of course. You get six of those in one year.

So in other words, it all boils down to what's the best course of action. If there are plenty of flights between base and home, most likely able to get out of the pad. Otherwise, it may be more beneficial to get one. I recommend doing one or two months without a pad and see if you can manage. If not, get a bed in one.
