If this fact offends your sensibilities so much, maybe your airline shouldn’t have sold scope. Again, if you want it fixed. See section 1 of the PWA and fix it.
To your first. So what? You commute in to make your trip. Period.
I commute to a NE base. It's a pain, especially after we throttled the flights as result of C-19 and most of our rotations there on my equipment are uncommutable on the front and back end. Sometimes I leave a day or 2 early to insure I am in position for the start of the trip. That is my responsibility to my employer. I do have a commuter clause to avail myself to should SHTF, but rarely do I require that option (think I have used it once in 4 years).
If you can't be responsible to be in place for the start of your trip, maybe time to go do something else. Kicking our retirees in the back is not how this is solved. You being disciplined and professional is. If its on DAL metal, they should have S3A. Nothing less.
To your second statement. It has nothing to do with pass priority. A vindictive comment on your part.
