JB does not like commuters and will do everything they can to hire people who can drive to work.
One example of their anti-commuter tendencies is the "if you are non-reving you have to clean the plane". I could ALMOST understand such a garbage policy if you were using non-rev for leisure travel, but NEVER for going to and from work.
"If you don't clean the plane you'll lose that benefit".
So what? The implied threat is that if I don't clean when I commute to work I'll lose my non-rev privileges and get fired as a result. God I love the JB Culture!
The trash that is our Reserve Work Rules is also designed to be unsustainable as a commuter. You'll be tempted to move to NY or New Hampshire to stay sane.
If you already live in the NE, it is better than a regional. That is not the standard we should be holding ourselves to.
Just remember, "You chose to commute!"
