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)
True. But we have several stations that are within driving distance of the crew domicile. So we're not commuters in the traditional sense, but we still drive past other SWA airports on our way to work. I think the subject should at least be explored like we are doing now with separate hotels...then we can make an educated decision to move forward or not.
