No thanks. Happy to keep things as they are.
Don’t like commuting? Move to base. I’ve done this with my family several times so I don’t buy that it can’t be done. Your wife may not want to leave her home town or whatever but it’s a pain/gain calculation. It can always be done.
Don’t like our nonrev rules? Buy tix or go apply at AA, lol.
Commute from an RJ only city? Cool. I’ve done that too. The extra planning and flexibility is on you, not your employer to get to work. I’m glad you can live where you want.
The rest of this thread is just whining.

Easier said than done as interest rates top 7% on their way up to 9-10%. So easy to “move to base.”

You can do the same thing. While it’s polite to list early if you know your plans, it is not required. Good for grandma taking the kiddos up to the city and enjoying her well-earned benefits.

Thats the beauty of this job. You can live anywhere. Just don’t expect the rest of the company to absorb your inconvenience. I say that not condescendingly, but as one that has commuted the majority of my career from near and (very) far.
Driving to work doesn’t always win, and I will likely go back to commuting once I get kids out of the house.

Not super rare. Fairly senior FA (if not an area code, close) lives actually about five houses down from me. She has her grandkids on her travel bennies. I have not enquired how/why.
About 2-3 times a year, I see her show up with 2-4 grandkids in tow, headed to NYC to see a broadway show. Always a last minute listing, usually within 2 hours or less. I've met the mom. (she was outside waiting for them when they were returning from NYC, I was waiting on my wife to pull up.
I know they are going to a show, because they've told me. I've had Grandma as a FA on one of my trips to CDG.
This is an outstation where 50 seat RJs were the norm and 5-10 seats open was "wide open" for commuters pre covid.
But I suppose you are going to want screencaps of the pages on travelnet before you aquiesuque that it is not "exceedingly rare"
If I see it 2-3 times a year, FROM THE SAME PERSON on the late afternoon JFK or LGA flight from ORF, I'm sure it happens a lot more than I'm not aware of.. Senior person sitting reserve at home and listing at the last second? Yeah that happens.
But when someone who I think (but do not KNOW) may be slightly creatively interpreting the rules does this for leisure all the time on short notice.
