Sure, we may have been helping out the company, but I never saw much downside in it for the pilot group. It was a great way to check out another base if you were considering bidding into it permanently. Like nu said, I never heard any body complaining about it. Seemed to be a win-win for both sides. Consider Tsquare's standard complaint that ATL is over-manned while NYC guys can't drop anything. Would it be bad for us if we had a system like this in place that allowed us to volunteer up to NYC for a month or two? A temp guy with company paid hotels might actually want to fly those crappy early-report/late release MEX trips that nobody in NYC wants to fly...but probably not
