It seems like this is an F.Y. to commuters. I can see no other reason that the first day should be SC, every time. Inspite of the amount of days on.
If I had my druthers, SC would be like golden X days, we would get to choose.
They do that to get your lazy @$$ in to base. If forces you to commute in. LC the next day and then SC the day after.
As for the rest, it has been hashed and rehashed. Tell your reps what you want, and make sure it is addressed. Things like what you suggest could be fixed now via LOA. They will not be fixed like you expect them too, but they will be addressed.
I cannot for the life of me see them penalizing non-commuters. They may just roll the window following an X day back to 1200 or something like that. If they want you on SC, they get you on SC.
I would like to see some of the randomness taken out of it as well. I do not mind SC, and am one of the few that is willing to pull more of it so the commuters can stay at home.
