I had to use my CC because not only 2 but 3 of the flights that could get me to my report time was canceled, and I was deducted 4 hrs of pay. I can either roll the dice and hope the next time if I get called out. The flight I need is not canceled, and I have a long enough call out time, or go and sit in a crash pad for almost 2/3 of the month. That way I don't have to worry about using a commuter clause. Explain to me how CC works then? This is why many commuters took the VIL.
It will be interesting how many pilots take the VIL going forward. Line Holders get paid to sit at home and tons of LCR lines.............
