I live in base, and choose not to commute to a base with better trips. What are you going to ask the company for those who aren't commuters?
Here are some ideas:
Maybe a cab service from my house so I don't have to make the 30 minute drive back and forth.
Free hotel room in base once in a while for a night on the town with the spouse, with per diem of course
Special crew room for non-commuters so commuters don't use up all the chairs sleeping from their commute.
But seriously, there are people at this airline who don't commute. I imagine you're frustrated but by asking for special treatment, you're taking stuff away from those who live in base.

Carl, you have forgotten your history over the last decade. The Comair and ASA pilots wanted scope which bound Delta Air Lines. ALPA said "no, the only party at the table with Delta Air Lines is, and ever will be, Delta pilots." When the Comair and ASA pilots sued ALPA defended the right of the Delta pilots to bargain exclusively with their management.

Likely true if the World doesn't sink. Italy's debt will be carrying rates over 10% by the time we get up. Han Seng is down 5% as I write this. Banks down 6% in Hong Kong trading. I'm not betting on anything right now. This is going to kick AZ's teeth out and really hurt Air France.
Guess we will test the theory that the AF/KLM JV really helps us, because it was taking on water before the sovereign debt default in Europe becoming "real."

The older I get, the world seems to be in the same cycle of doom, gloom or recovery. The world seems to always be repeating itself.A wise man once told me, "to block out 70 % of the "noise" and do the right thing and never retract from doing the right thing because everything will be ok"

They are doing everything in their power to minimize/stop that. It was the driving force behind your 5 am reports for a domestic trip in LGA. I used to layo there at least four times a month, no a NYC layo is an oddity.

... exactly. Tim's trying to make something out of fighting last decade's battle. He fails to understand what got him furloughed was a lack of unity. If we had insisted on those RJ drivers having seniority numbers NOBODY would have been furloughed.
I want to meet and confer and work with our brothers to fix our profession. They are not my enemy.
