Technically only 1 flight required, but if you miss it crew scheduling won't help you get to work, you don't get paid for anything you miss, and there is some really vague language that says it is meant to be used "rarely" and at their discretion the company can require proof that you had open seats 24h prior, etc. Basically it's a non-policy, like the whole rest of the contract.

Oh, and if you are removed from a trip for CM… you can pick up over the footprint, to include premium…
So yeah. You were wrong.

Look at Supplement G of the JCBA. One flight isn’t required, because no flights are required. Commuting isn’t limited to air travel. You can commute from wherever- there’s no radius in time nor distance that constitutes a commuter. Because of that, you don’t need to prove open seats at 24 hours or some such BS. Don’t abuse it, don’t get caught lying on a recorded line (just like sick, you don’t have to tell scheduling why you’re invoking the commuter policy…), and you have zero to fear.

- It is expected that a pilot will utilize the provisions of this Policy on a rare basis. Each event involving the use of this Policy will be considered independently and judged on its own unique circumstances. However, repeated use of this Policy may be considered in evaluations of a pilot's overall attendance/reliability and may require flight documentation going forward. Such documentation may include, but not limited to, the following:
- Adequate actual seat availability within twenty-four (24) hours of departure for online flights, or
- Scheduled to operate twenty-four (24) hours prior to departure for off line flights, and/or
- Flight scheduled to arrive at the pilot's domicile at a reasonable time before scheduled sign-in.
- Adequate actual seat availability within twenty-four (24) hours of departure for online flights, or
What does rarely mean? Not defined. Who's judging it on an individual basis? Well it doesn't say but I guess your chief pilot, whomever that may be.
