Even at the LCC I'm currently at if you miss your first option they'll consider replacing you with a reserve in base. And if you miss your second option it's no questions asked either they drop the trip entirely, put you on reserve for the following days, or give you a new trip in the same footprint.

Obviously there will be instances where the commuter policy is abused and those should be handled on a case by case basis. We are adults and should be treated as such.
