In order for a moving policy to be satisfactory now it will need to pay off our mortgages since most of the guys getting shuffled (07-08 hires) bought houses that are now worth alot less than they were two years ago. I'd have to sell my $200K house for at least a $30K loss if I wanted to move in the next two years, that makes it impossible for me to move even if they pay realtor fees and moving expenses. In addition to that, the human toll of up-rooting your family every couple of years cannot be compensated. What needs to be done is we need to improve the reserve system so you can sit long call from any city in the U.S. and improve the commuting policy to what the DAL-N guys had. That way we don't have to move.
