Truth is people make the choice to commute, sometimes they just don't make it on the flight. I do all that I can to get everyone on board but I don't weep for the choices people make. You can justify it all you want but at the end of the day people make the choice to commute instead of putting the for sale sign in front of their house. Commuters don't deserve any better treatment than anybody else
Someone like that deserves a bit of help getting back home to said kids and wives after a 4 day, or 5 days of reserve in a crash pad, and the last thing they need is a d-bag attitude like yours.

Bollocks. People don't make the choice to commute when they live in SoCal, where their wives work and their kids go to school, then they get based in Detroit, or Newark.

From: Left seat, wait right seat, no no left seat, nope right seat! Ummmm, I guess I am confused
Sorry but commuters don't deserve to be treated "special". Yes it is a choice. When one gets hired you are told what the bases are. Lots of people have to move for jobs, that is what we call life. Pilots have every right to commute but I have absolutely zero sympathy when they whine about said commute. If a guy from LA knowingly takes a job in DTW or EWR then he can either move of deal with the drama that comes with commuting.
Do we make accommodations for people in every day life when we don't have to? Some do and some don't.

If people didn't chase jobs with such reckless abandon then maybe the airlines would be forced to improve the situation. By this I mean they would pay for you too move. The conditions at the airlines will continue to deteriorate if passion for flying outweighs any negative working condition. I would also outlaw long commutes. Too many pilots are irresponsible and start their day tired do to long commutes. If you can responsibly make a long commute work on your own then you should have the integrity to move or find a different job. Don't complain about the pay after you already accepted the job.
