Just how bad is commuting going to suck for a few months until I can get IAH? I know we don’t have a commuter clause but realistically how hard does the hammer come down when you just can’t get a flight to your base?
depends on how many commutes you miss. If you miss one to two commutes per year and can show that you had multiple backup plans for each commute that fell apart, you’ll probably be fine.
however if you start missing commutes say more than 6 times a year and always bank on commuting same day or LFOTD the day before your trip with no back up plans to show… you might be getting scheduled for a meeting with your chief to discuss your reliability.
