At WN, a pilot must have two flight opportunities (online OR offline) to arrive before scheduled report time. Alternatively, if solely traveling online, one flight is enough IF you are scheduled to arrive one hour prior to report.
We cannot reserve the jumpseat; it is first come-first served starting at one hour prior to departure. No seniority is involved.
From the above referenced section, the end of paragraph 2;
“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”.
Basically, one flight if it’s on SWA and arrives at least 1 hour prior to check-in. Two flights if it arrives less than 1 hour prior and/or is off-line.
This paragraph refers to domicile and not training. We don’t reserve, just show up and it doesn’t matter if there are available seats.
The best commuter policy I’ve personally experienced.
