Let's get down to brass tacks.
If the USAir/AA merger gets sh!tcanned, how would it affect Delta pilots?
A DFW hub would alleviate many of these commuting issues.

Justice Department Files Antitrust Lawsuit Challenging Proposed Merger Between US Airways and American Airlines
The DOJ thinks that absent a merger then we at Delta would counter with an aggressive growth plan. I'm not buying it.

"The department’s complaint describes US Airways executives’ fear of American’s standalone growth plan as “industry destabilizing.” The complaint states that US Airways worries that American’s growth plan would cause “others” to react “with their own enhanced growth plans…,” and that the resulting effect would increase competitive pressures throughout the industry. The department said the merger will allow US Airways’ management to abandon these aggressive growth plans and continue the industry’s current trend toward higher prices and less service."

If everyone had "enhanced growth plans"... the industry would have too many seats, fares would drop, people would get cheap tickets, and all the airlines would be back in Chap 11.
We're finally getting to a viable airline industry in this country that can support itself. We need to keep it that way.

I would also submit that you checked the box that asked if you were willing to relocate when you applied.
The problem with you is that you don't care if someone had to walk to school both ways in 8 foot snowdrifts. MY point was that I have been in your shoes, I made it work without a commuting policy, and we have made enough dispensation for commuters in our contract, IMO.
Seeing the world through "their" eyes only has burned the Delta pilots more than once. Some people never learn I guess.
As for say in the matter, I have as much as you. You instruct your reps and I will instruct mine. Expressing my sorrow was indicative that I understood your plight and felt your pain, yet arrive at a different conclusion.
I no longer carry that sympathy for you. Perhaps we may get something for getting RID of the commuter clause. Maybe that needs some costing/negotiating/changing. You would do better to keep silent on the issue, for you do not help your cause with the sleeper cells on here. Somehow I think you won't heed that advice.
So did you check the willing to relocate box?
