Clearly, JS and PS travel are NOT the exact same thing.
One is a lost revenue seat and one is not. If you think the company wants to pass out PS seats to you for free just because you chose to live in a different city then you are barking up the wrong tree. That’s also a reality of the industry.
Your continued pandering for special treatment is duly noted.
LOL what are you even talking about now?
I'm not saying any commuter should be able to PS any seat anytime. I'm referring to booking the JS. That's something we already have, there's no potential loss of revenue except in very rare cases (LCA/FAA in conjunction with a full flight and FA JA taken etc) and its limited to one per flight anyway.
The existing 2 flight commuter clause has similar if not greater potential for a bumped pax than our existing booked JS does, and in any case that's not even the crux of the point.
Booking the JS (assuming you are the one who gets it for that flight) is 100% as good as a company DH reservation and both of those are even better than a PS ticket in the first place as even those can be bumped on an oversold flight anyway.
(Air) commuters are a fact of life for the industry, aren't going anywhere, and are not second class citizens. A one flight booked JS policy (which you seem to not understand what it is even though it already exists) is very reasonable and fair, and the exact equivalent of what the company freely chooses to build into many pairings anyway with planned DH flights that don't have a backup.
A booked JS is literally the most reliable way to get somewhere. One booked JS is way better and more reliable for the operation than 2 roll of the dice NR listings would be.
