There's a not insignificant faction among this pilot group that thinks you should just move to your domicile. [emoji849]
They don't understand commuting and aren't sympathetic to pilots who commute - even if they're displaced or need to do it for the spouse's job, a divorce agreement, etc.
Can't tell you how many times I heard "well you CHOOSE to commute" when I was a commuter griping about the lack of long call reserve or commutable trips. (I understand they could've also just been trying to get me to quit griping)
