Not yet, but heading that direction.
Interesting. At my current Co if you're an IP your sked for the month just like a line trip, so no fly in cost. If you choose to live out of base you commute in just as you would for a trip. It can also be a great deal for earning extra cash too, especially for those who live in base, because they are always looking for guys to come in and run a sim on their day off at draft pay (150%).
