P.L. Was the one who made the decision to do outstation basing in the first place. Convenient that this news comes out right after his departure. I believe that one is the result of the other.

Outstation works for small isolated hubs and when you aren't having a ton of turnover. With the whole operation connected like ours is, it makes zero sense. If they are changing it, it's because of the staffing and scheduling problems they are having NOT for retention or in exchange for something else from the pilot group. Don't be fooled. It was a mistake that has cost them much more in headaches than the hotel costs ever would have.
