One day pairings are last in my bid group, and I'm still way to jr to get a four day. Most of my trips aren't commutable, but I'm lucky because I drive, even if its three hours. So yes, people are commuting to do day turns and pay for a pad or hotel.
Apparently these guys think it's your fault the company has built in so many 1 and 2 day trips.
I have personally seen it on a weekly basis. Friends on reserve are only flying 1, 2, and some 3 day trips. Our pilots will in fact be commuting to do turns. That's how the lines are being built. Also, October is a slow month. Not a lot of open time. Gonna get real ugly. That's fine though, just another shot in the foot of the company increasing attrition.
