If a guy from LA knowingly takes a job in DTW or EWR then he can either move of deal with the drama that comes with commuting.
That would be a valid point if bases never closed, upgrades occurred in base and airlines were at least worker neutral instead of against us. That being said, yes those of us who commute still do so as a choice. I accept the drama and I don't ask that you alleviate it, just please don't add to it.
Do we make accommodations for people in every day life when we don't have to? Some do and some don't.
