we have a rotation construction committee, who I would imagine is responsible for the continued 5 days trips set up primarily for commuters. We have hotels for qualification training even for ATL based commuters, we have hotels for ATL recurrent, Atlanta residents get a day less pay for recurrent because they are not afforded the day of commuting in either side. We have a commuting policy which is generous, IMO, especially in light that Delta postures to afford the same opportunities for non-contract personnel as contract. Indeed we even negotiated the flight attendant Jumpseat for use by the pilots, and we can't even get some them to use it in order to help OTHER commuters. Front and back end deviation with a proffer of a hotel on both sides, just in case you can't deviate, positive space transportation to your residence instead of back to your base. No matter....
My opinion.
