It most certainly does. They made it very clear in indoc that you still have to have one backup flight to make sure you are on time for IQ sims. We had one guy that tried to take the early morning flight in and it got canceled. After he came in late, the whole class got the lecture from BB.

Of course, this depends on several factors about where you live and so forth. In my case, I was seeing my family more during DL training than I did while working at my regional carrier.

thank you for chiming in!

FOM 3.4.1 seems pretty clear that Unable to Commute policy applies. Says, "pilot's scheduled or assigned duty, including SLI's who are commuting to a scheduled training event."

unable to commute is completely different than positive space to and from training.

How does FOM 3.4 apply when you're traveling on company business IAW 13.3? You're not commuting, therefore the unable to commute clause does not apply.

"Company business travel is not to be used for rewards, commuting, or personal business purposes."
