Take the emotion out of this topic and you have to see that a commute policy will cost us and not benefit the entire pilot group.
A non commuter but a CVG'er who may become one!
Yep, that is the fact, but we need to reverse the trend of the last decade and build upon the JPWA. I like to see higher highs and not lower lows.
As for commuting about 60% North and 50% of the South guys do already. That is about 55% of the group. That will go up, more bases will close and more will open. It comes to a point in ones life where you can not just pick up in go. ATL is senior and many guys live here, because they know they can or could.
As for commuting policies only beneifiting half the list, well the A and B rates only benefit half the list
There are just some benefits that we need even though they may not help "ME" It will help "US"
