Default Cost Neutral Positive Space Commute?

What would this look like? On a scale of $0 to $myUAdiscount, how much per commute?

In-base bros are bending over for woke lib government rules and taxes, crime, traffic, and expensive studio apartments, all so they can be in position to support the operation. They're in a level of hell and shouldn't be supporting the...

Florida commuter master race who live easy in 5000 sqft houses with hot young low-bodyfat spouses tanning by their pools.

While myUADiscount allows our immediate family to occasionally have prestigious bourgeois experiences, and I appreciate that, this doesn't support the operation. So when a commuter buys a ticket to support the operation, shouldn't there be some consideration for their contribution?

Couldn't we agree to a fixed rate commuter pass, or a special commuterUAdiscount rate that accounts for the fact that this is a golden ticket that's getting a pilot to/from work? Of course it can't be mandatory, since many pilots commute OAL.

I was thinking we all should get some miles deposited, on the order of a few hundred thousand, a year. That way commuters can use them if needed to get to/from work, and non-commuters can use them however they want. And, probably tax free.

SWA offered up to 120,000 miles for working a certain amount over the past holiday season. I’m certain those miles were taxable as you had to opt into receiving them.

We could purchase the miles. Employee discount program: 1e6 miles / 1 USD.

im not in a level of hell, in fact my idea of level of hell in living in Florida. The only Florida pilots I have seen leave a lot to be desired if they are the “master race”
