People may choose to commute out of base and impact me in a positive way or choose to come to my base which and hurt my seniority lol. Bottom line, positive space commuting would be a big win. Who knows I may move out of base down the road and it could end up being a great benefit for me too. Sometimes being a part of a union means you go along with things that good for all, not just you. Again, I'm not talking about exchanging this for scope.
This is absolutely a reasonable approach to it. And I agree, something that is good for the pilot group as a whole should be a win. Unfortunately some view everything as a how does it effect me lens, and anything that isn’t a win for them is invariably a loss.
