Are you going to help them?!? What a bunch of JERKS!!
Must be nice to have enough seniority to not have to worry the little people who are junior to you.
NOTE-I know there are lots of non commuters who aren't against commuting.
I'm a non commuter, but realize that any bid could throw me into that realm so I support stuff that makes commuting easier. It looks to me like we have more than 1/2 of us that commute so we need to find stuff that will benefit both commuters and non-commuters.
Paying extra for a guy to sit SC reserve or creating SC only reserve lines that pay 80hrs would be one example. Non commuters could make extra $$$ and commuters wouldn't get SC.
Also 5-day trips suck for a local guy. It should be mandatory that they sign in after 11AM and release before 5PM. The only 5-day trips local guys are getting are the ones that are non-commutable. If they made them commutable then everyone would be happy because commuters would bid them and local guys wouldn't have to fly them.
There are things we could get that will benefit both commuters and non-commuters and make everyone happy.
