Pay rates come and go with ease. Work rules are much different. Once that's gone, it's gone for good. That 'days off' provision is gold to any commuter or anyone that likes to manipulate their schedule for improved QOL. If you're not a commuter today...you're only one base closure away from becoming one. Think long and hard before you sell that down the river (the figurative you...not directed at Tine).
