Average day is 4-5 flights a day between mdw-Mia, from between 7am to early afternoon, two on aa metal. 3 hour flight to Mia.
what are the commuter rules like? Would it be possible for me to sit lcr and make this work or am I delusional? Possible as a lineholder?
thanks for the info!
The intent of the commuter policy is to allow a pilot that has made every reasonable effort to sign in on time an opportunity to call off the trip without disciplinary action. It is also stated in the policy the commuter policy is to be used infrequently.
please do not abuse our commuter policy. It is one of the few things here better than any other airline. Don’t **** it up.
if you are short call commuting by air is not acceptable.
If you are long call and there is a window of time that you can’t comply with the 12 hour call out you need to be somewhere else during that time.
