Oh well, just one man's opinion.
The problem is that the vast majority of the company commutes and management knows this. These schedules are very anti-labor. The schedules are also relatively low credit such as a 2 days followed by another 2 days worth only 17 hours. Some are better than others, but all are bad for commuters. I agree with you that living in base would make these schedules a bit more desirable.

The company may be saving a buck, but it is as if they are jumping over our dollars to save themselves a mere penny. I am all about an efficiently run business and being part of a winning team, but what if any sacrifices are they making up in toon-town (Appleton WI) to make us more competitive?
