First, please spell out your words. We're kind of harsh here about using proper sentance structure!

Second, to answer your question, are you talking about commuting? Where you live in one city but are based at another? If you choose to commute it is your responsibiliy to watch flights & weather to get to work on time. You use your non-rev flight passes to 'commute' to your base city. These passes are standby, so you have to watch loads so as to not try to commute on oversold flights. If you don't get to work on-time because you've missed your commuter flight, that is HIGHLY frowned upon, and WILL get you a visit to the chief pilot's office. The only time commuting absences are somewhat tolerated is if there's a MAJOR weather event, like the recent massive blizzard on the east coast. It's your responsibility to get to work on time, no matter where you live or how you choose to get to work.

There have been many threads here about commuting, if you put 'commuting' into the search function, you'll come up with lots of info.
