This includes any carrier flying in the DHL or Amazon network, or any other network for which an ATSG carrier may be flying. The policy requires that you verify you are listed after 1700 local domicile time the day before. If you get bumped from the jumpseat after that time or do not arrive in time for your trip due to weather, mechanical, diversion, etc., you're covered.

All that is asked is that you make a reasonable effort to plan your commute considering any factors like weather, traffic delays, flight loads, etc. You're not really headed for trouble until you miss a third trip in a rolling 12-month period. Then you face a commute review board that will look at the evidence to determine whether you've just had a run of bad luck or you might just be really bad at planning your commute. You may face a period of 6 months to a year of more restrictive commuting options, and additional missed trips may place you in jeopardy of further disciplinary action.

This is a huge addition considering that it was not covered before, where missing a single trip outstation could result in termination. This section applies if you were to drop a company deadhead to the outstation. As an example, maybe you live in Phoenix and you have a trip that starts with a company deadhead from CVG to LAX. You may choose to drop the deadhead and get yourself to LA, saving you a trip to CVG and maybe getting you another night at home. (Separate from the commuter policy, if you have a trip that starts with a commercial deadhead, you can get the airline ticket from your home to the outstation.) The policy requires that you have two available commute flights that would get you there on time, or if driving, check factors affecting the drive and plan accordingly. If you are not able to arrive in time and the company is able to cover the flight without delay or cancelation (i.e. you informed crew scheduling early enough that they could find someone to cover it), you are covered. If the flight is delayed or canceled due to your late arrival, you go before the commute review board.

This section requires that you have available two commute flights that arrive at least 8 hours before your scheduled report time. You must notify crew scheduling when you board the flight and advise them of the airline, flight number and scheduled arrival time. Missed trip procedures of category #2 above apply, except that you will be required to have two flights that arrive 24 hours before scheduled report time. This section does not apply if you are commuting on ABX Air or network partners (i.e. Amazon or DHL flights operated by other carriers). #1 above applies in those cases.
