Houses need to be sold/bought. Spousal jobs need to be transferred. It's not a simple process to just say "Oops, I was displaced again. Well that's ok. We will just quit jobs, yank kids out of their schools, pack up, sell the house, and move to another one." Delta has brought this upon themselves, & I don't give a rats rear end if a guy doesn't like things being tailored to commuters. If he wants to take a hit in pay to help those who are upside down on their reasonable FO houses, then maybe guys can move. Until then, there WILL be commuters at Delta.
