Yes the simple solution is just move to a base, unfortunately thats not an option for a lot of people.
This is a very frustrating situation for me, as Im sure it is for a lot of others. So much for great hotel language, and the
increased cost we commuters will be absorbing in crashpads, hotels, ubers, reduced per diem, etc.
I'm happy to have my job, it could be worse and I count my blessings. The situation still sucks though.
The company only cares about 1 thing and that is total cost.It is allowed per the contract and we didn't adequately protect against it.Be a senior Fo in base, commute and buy a condo, get a crashpad/hotels, or move to base. I agree miserable solution for all pilots but good for the companies bottom mine.
