As for the commuter policy it is 1. Full of holes and 2. Not in a contract and is just that "policy" and you can certainly still be fired if they felt like it.

Why it is full of holes: You are required to list for a flight that will get you to your destination a "reasonable" amount of time before your showtime. What exactly is reasonable, to me its ten minutes to mgmt if they do not like you or want to deal with you it could be 2 days.

There has to be a "reasonable" amount of open seats. To me I call the jumpseat being open good. Are they looking for 2,3,10%? So basically you are not ever in the clear unless they decide they want you to be in the clear. To be honest your only hope as I have seen are the dispatchers. Get on their good side and they may just work something out for you without passing that information on to the powers that be.

Uniform allowance, yes it is good but 200 bucks does not put us on the same level as a quality airline and contract such as express. How about paying me a respectable rate for the equipment that I fly and ill buy my own uniform.
