Mike,
First off unless you uprooted your family and moved to the Cracker Kremlin, aka Atlanta, then there is no guarantee that you won't become a commuter in your career. We had bases in BOS, ORD, MSY, DFW, MCO, PDX, MIA, MEM and CVG was a lot bigger.
So when people say commuting is a choice I say that it is kind of a choice. Secondly, as has been pointed out, this is not about PS to work during every rotation. It is PS to work when you were assigned a trip that you planned on flying and they changed the report day. This can cause some headaches as you have now missed out on reserving a jumpseat because of the late notice.
