There's a lot of best practice language that we need to get into the contract. Thought we were going to do it last time.
Sorry, I wasn’t very clear in explaining it. What it says is that you can only plan on a particular flight if that flight, 36 hours before departure, has a flight available for sale to the public or a Jumpseat available. Meaning, you can’t plan to use a flight that is sold out (no seats available for sale to the public). If that was the case, you would need to find another flight that meets that criteria in order to not be disciplined if you don’t make it when actually attempting to commute on it.
