Our communications director sent this out. AF.
Also, just because the hotel desk says something doesn't make it true. I can't tell you how many times I had to train CS to do something contractual. I was told no repeatedly when reserve appropriation got changed to premium pay. Also, just wait till you hear what you all you have to do when OSO hits that Cs just makes up. The union is a valuable source to navigate the contract. If you run into any situation like his then your rep should be contacted.
You may have a point that there is a difference in what the union says and what the company says. But I think it's pretty clear if you lose an overnight then you are protected under all circumstances. If not then it should be grieved. There is a difference between losing and giving up one by trading using vacation or calling out sick.

Essentially it could help a commuter reserve pilot get more overnights.

I would put myself on the turnback list nearly every reserve stretch. In about a year and a half on reserve I went over my commuter hotels maybe three months, so it is very helpful for commuters. Like anything else though, it all depends on how much open time is available whether or not it’s effective.
