I don't think so. I changed bases 5 times in my 7 years, but 3 of those were PCS. I suspect some of your's were too. I'll stand by my position.
scambo, in 20+ years at DAL, I've commuted for exactly 1 month. By choice.
But as I've said countless times before, I've got no problem with PS passes for EVERY trip for a certain period of time after a base closure or base opening. But we've never had bases in MLB, TPA, PHX, CHS, JAX, CLE, and countless others, yet pilots feel an entitlement to live in those cities, while being paid by DAL, and then expect DAL to foot the bill for them to get to work. I DO have a problem with that mentality, because it costs the company money, and money they pay for that can't be put in our paychecks. Effectively punishing those of us who suck it up and move. That's my beef with the whole issue.
