The company will want something for it. And a side effect will be a reduction in non-rev benefits for everybody………. Pretty selfish to want to change the rules at the detriment of the majority in my humble opinion. Particularly when you knew the rules going in.
The majority are commuters. This is a job first - not a leisure activity group. Non-rev concerns are bottom barrel. Living in base is not a requirement, otherwise it would’ve been in the job description. “Commuting is an option” argument is also invalid.
The company has been winning for decades by not having permanent PSC language to get to/from one’s base. Just like many work rules that have been polished and refined over the years - our commuting language is barbaric/criminal and needs to be completely overhauled to meet average QOL standards. Above average would be first class to/from PSC tickets.
PSC to/from work is the bare minimum; not some prize to be won. Again, living in base is not a requirement therefore not an expectation.
