Example—a new hire lives in LAX but gets assigned BWI. He can try to give away his BWI trips and if successful pick up in LAX or a surrounding closer domicile.
A long commute sucks. But there are opportunities to mitigate it with some bidding/trading savvy.
Because all the BWI bubbas want those 4 day weekend reserve blocks
