For example, I had a great dal guy from ROA onboard one day who explained that 3 generations of his family (likely to become 4 with 3 girls in college) all lived in the same neighborhood. When he leaves for work you could tell that his wife and children are all just fine and that he was at peace.
The only caveat to this is once a person is senior in category of course.
I agree. I lived in ATL before Delta, my wife grew up here, all her friends are here and her family is here and she had a great job here. So when I was working at Coex there was really no thought of "hey, let's move up to Newark NJ, you'll be without family, friends and a job, and I'll leave you for 12 out of 15 days at a time. Sound good?"
Yeah so believe it or not I commuted.
