Commuting is never easy but the commuter policy is fairly liberal. If you are listed on a SWA flight scheduled to arrive one hour prior to show time you are covered. Any combination of two flights scheduled to land prior to show time is also acceptable.

COMMUTER RULES The following sets forth the rules concerning a pilot who lives in a city other than his domicile:

1. A pilot who chooses to designate himself as a “commuter” must designate a city as a point of commuter origination.
2. A pilot must attempt to commute on a minimum of two (2) consecutive scheduled flights on Southwest or off-line from the designated city. If, because of flight cancellations, delays, lack of available seating (cabin or jumpseat), or delays beyond the commuter’s control (diversion, etc.), the pilot will be unable to arrive prior to the scheduled report time, the Company will be notified immediately. Alternatively, the second scheduled flight is not required if the primary flight on Southwest is scheduled to arrive in domicile at least one (1) hour prior to check-in.
