The commuter hotels program is kinda "meh" in a lot of people's minds. First they said "effective immediately" way back in May, then figured out they had no clue what they were doing so they moved it out to July 1. I have no idea of how functional the program is going to be, especially when compared to other carriers they give you 4 nights a month and all you have to do is call scheduling and they get it set up for you.
The 15K would be a big help, but that amount really needs to be dropped and rolled into pay rates, IMO. Even then, you'd still see the money your first year without having to deal with a two year contract for the bonus.
Also keep in mind that "down south" will be a two leg commute to reserve to any of our junior bases, unless "down south" is referring specificaly to TYS.
All that said, I expect some big changes soon.
