For a line-holder, commuting is simple: 2 flights, on or off-line, that arrive 1 hour prior to push...conversation over. It's in the contract - if you don't make option #1, call scheduling and tell them...if option #2 is gonna crump, call skeds and they'll positive space you, or remove you from the trip...no questions asked. Ops tested no fewer than 4 times.

I commute to reserve. Not the end of the world, but looking forward to getting off of it. Same commuter rules apply, but normally when I call (which is not common) they'll just tell me to let them know when I get there. Never been an issue so far.

Concur with the Dude. Commuting to reserve has same protection. If a base has minimal reserve coverage, they might Pos Space you if you miss your 1st of 2 flights, esp if they know they will need you(weather moving in). Otherwise they are pretty chill about it. My experience anyway as EWR 73.
