Sighhh…..and yet the subject of this thread is about commuting, and buying tickets for EVERY commute was the plan of the OP. That is discussion, we have all bought tickets before on leisure travel.

Sometimes, mainly Holiday time it’s nice to spend an hour of pay to get on while 75 employees of that company are left standing wondering why a JB guy just got on their company’s flight and they were left standing in JFK4 for another two or three hours. Only used this tactic to go home though.

True, but they sure made a mess by moving 22 miles. Hopefully learning occurred for our sake.
