However, the point we were talking about was if the reserve days had to be within the original trip foot print, and apparently they don't. I do not like that at all.

It has been years since I commuted on reserve, but I remember using the commute clause to get in position for short call reserve. Is that not the case anymore?

Commuter clause does not discriminate. It is the same for everything.

I was not clear. I meant commuting after getting assigned when on short call.

Commuting in AFTER getting a call for SCR seems odd, where on earth are you commuting in by air to arrive at the plane within the SCR time? CBA doesn’t really specify the difference between commuting before or after an assignment.

No parking pass for commuters?
 
So if I understand it right Spirit has said F U to its commuters and they’re not given a parking pass for their home airport?

Looked elsewhere for this but figured a commuting thread was decent place for this question.

Correct, just parking in the base of your choosing.

You're able to get parking at any Spirit base. If you commute from elsewhere you're screwed.

If you commute from anywhere you're screwed. Period.

It's a losing proposition on all sides.

If it makes you feel any better, WN doesn't offer paid parking to anyone, in domiciles or not.

Another fun fact about commuting at Spirit is that if you don’t make your commute they will now assign you reserve for the days that the trip covered. They used to give us the option to drop, add a different trip or reserve but supposedly people found a way to abuse that so now scheduling was instructed to assign reserve 100% of the time.
