AAL’s clause is one flight to work, on ANY airline, with no backup required. No minimum buffers between flights, minimum seat availability, or any of the other nonsense that our 23.X language requires.

As a bonus, their clause covers pilots who live in base as well, should they have a flat tire or other transit issue impeding their ability to get to work. Theirs doesn’t mention discipline for “excessive” use, as ours does.

There aren’t many contractual areas in which AA surpasses us, but when it comes to their commuter clause they have us beat by a mile.
