Gloopy,
Sooooooo, if the company cannot find any instance in the past 40+ short call assignments of a pilot using nonrev, kcm (etc) or asking for receipts of travel on other modes of transportation such as credit card statements, then the pilot should get a pass? I don't think so. You cannot tell me that there will not be some kind of paper trail to prove commuting to at least half of those short calls.
You cannot, with a straight face, tell me that a pilot who lives States away from his base is going to pay for his own transportation to sit short call 40+ times and not EVER use kcm or nonrev. And even if s/he did, there would be some kind of paper trail. As an example, if one decided to buy a ticket on another airline, not only would s/he probably use kcm to get through security, there would also be a paper trail via paying with a CC. How many people pay cash now.....
