That would be an interesting number to see. At NWA, the FAs didn't have the call in honest policy. I suspect the policy won't last long if those numbers continue.
400 may sound like a large number on the surface, but by my rough and very unscientific figures, we probably have around 5000 pilots at DAL that commute. They propably make on average 3.5 commutes per month. This would make it 17,500 commutes per month or 210,000 commutes per year and this does not include flight attendants...
