Similarly, previously a DAL-N pilot had only 5 cities he could live in and not commute -- now HE has 9. So more choices for ALL. More choices = less commuting.

What am I missing? And if you come up with the excuse that, because all the equipment is moving around to different bases, and people are chasing equipment, then I rest my case - commuting is a CHOICE!
What you're missing is that you're being South-centric. There is a whole new group of DAL pilots who commute and like the longer trips as a result. Pretty simple really. Not much to get upset about.
