Commuting is fine as long as you’re commuting from a place with a lot of frequency and not much competition for seats by other commuters. That being said, as long as you’re abiding by the commuter policy (below), there’s no repercussions for missing a trip other than losing the pay, assuming you’re off probabtion. Our reserve rules are very commuter non-friendly and probably the worst of any large carrier. No, you can’t reserve the jumpseat. It’s just seniority driven. Show up 1 sec before the doors close and you’re more senior than the other guy, then you get it. You do book it through the app, it’s just not a reservation like other carriers.

Commuter policy is that you must have a primary and a backup flight on any carrier that will get you there prior to report.
