Exactly. I'm running some numbers on what the commuter hotels are costing a company vs. guaranteed commutes. If say 450 pilots utilized 4 provided hotel rooms per month at an average of $50 cost per night you are looking at $1.1 million per year. Then factor in the lost productivity and schedule impacts of having a commuter clause for a possible 2700 days of work lost at 6 events allowed per year. It seems that if (dare I say) some efficiency could be worked out with a guaranteed ride program, it shouldn't cost much more. It could actually be a benefit to the company and could have the added effect of attracting pilots to that company. Thoughts?
