Are you talking about the Commuter Policy, Section 18?
This is a copy paste from what I assume is JB AIP commute policy:
Pilots utilizing OAL to commute:
a. A commuting Pilot not reporting on time for required duty must be able to
verify he was present and listed (a digital record of a CASS listing
satisfies this requirement) on two (2) consecutive flights and both were
scheduled to arrive in sufficient time to allow him to report on time (a
commute with two (2) or more legs is considered one (1) flight for the
purpose of this Section).
b. Being rolled over from one flight to the next on the same airline satisfies
this requirement.
c. Adequate time between different flights that depart from different ends of
the same airport must be taken into consideration by the Pilot.
d. Additional travel time should be taken into consideration by the Pilot on
days with adverse weather conditions.
e. Travel time between arrival terminals must be taken into consideration by
the Pilot.
B. Commuting Strategy
A commuting Pilot who complies with the requirements of this Section shall not be
subject to discipline based on missed commute unless there is evidence that the mis-
commutes are the result of inadequate planning by the Pilot. A Chief Pilot may discuss
patterns of commuting problems with the Pilot in an effort to resolve such issues by
identifying the source of the problem and assisting in developing alternative commuting
strategies. Repeated mis-commutes may be considered in evaluations of a commuting
Pilot’s overall
dependability.
For reference, here is NK:
Commuter Policy
1. A pilot commuting to duty shall plan for a minimum of two separate flights that
will arrive at his domicile in advance of his normal report time. If the first flight is
oversold, delayed, or canceled, or if the pilot is denied a jumpseat or boarding for
any reason, he shall notify Crew Scheduling as soon as practical.
2. Crew Scheduling, at its discretion, shall take one of the following actions:
a. Purchase a ticket for the pilot on the next available flight.
b. Advise the pilot to attempt to board the second flight through normal
means (e.g., jumpseat, nonrev travel, or OA passes).
3. If for any reason, a pilot is denied boarding on the second planned commuter
flight, he shall immediately notify Crew Scheduling, and Crew Scheduling shall
assign one of the following options:
a. Assign the pilot an open trip pairing, in consideration of the remaining
commuter flights available, and any required rest and duty limitations, so
that a pilot will arrive at his domicile in advance of his normal report time
for the newly assigned trip.
b. Assign the pilot to reserve duty for no more than the same number of
calendar days of his original missed trip pairing (e.g., a pilot who misses
a scheduled trip pairing of three calendar days may be assigned to no
more than three calendar reserve duty days).
c. Release the pilot from all duty in a non-pay status for the missed trip
pairing (i.e., deduct the pay credit for the missed trip pairing from his
pay).
4. A pilot who keeps accurate records of his scheduled commuter flights and
otherwise complies with the provisions of this commuter policy shall not be
subject to discipline for missing trip pairings due to denied boarding.
5. A pilot may use the commuter policy as necessary with no limitations.
Aside from the obvious difference: I don't have to take into account that I actually have to walk from one terminal to another, as long as I list for two flights that arrive before check-in at my base, I am ALWAYS covered, there is the the "D" word at the end of section B.
