Commuting pilots shouldn't get more days off just because they commute.
My example would give a pilot either 14, or 15 days off depending on how many days are in the month. I think that is fair.
I also haven't had to commute in the day before yet this year. I think I had 2 last year. One of which I traded in to myself to get a different day off.
I might agree with that if regional airlines didn't open and close bases so frequently.
