It was the only areas of the contract not touched in last section 6 so I feel no need for a quid with locals
In all seriousness I'm all for a policy in which every pilot is protected like this where the commuter can have protections to not be at fault and domicile pilots are also protected if the get a flat tire or stuck in traffic from hell.
If your flight can't make it off the ground as a commuter, it doesn't matter if you got that seat with positive space, jump seat res or nonrev. Protections for getting to work seem more important and would impact every single pilot here.
