And, knock wood, I'll retire that way. As a non-commuter, I'd rather not fund your personal convenience. And that's what that would amount to, in my opinion. We're both able to do our jobs comfortably without the points/credits, but you would be taking $ from my family to make your work experience better.
Some say commuting is a choice. I don't necessarily believe that at all times. What I do believe is that commuting is a benefit that comes with some sacrifices - spouses career, family, lower costs of living, etc. Don't ask me to sacrifice for your benefit.
I’m actually moving to base, will be a 20 minutes from the airport. However, I’d be happy to use those points accrued for vacations. Can hold on to them and get some epic places around the world that would cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Keep in mind that our contracts are for 17k plus people. Parts will benefit you and parts won’t. Every part of the contract costs money from the base pay, if we didn’t have direct contributions we’d have higher pay. Not every part of the contract will benefit each individual.
