Keep in mind that when the awards for the new TDY base were posted, there were only new captain upgrades and recently upgraded captains on there. This means that ZERO of our current FO's bid the base. It's looking like all newhires will be forced into this new TDY base at least until some new pilots are hired and trained after you. If you are single with no family in the city you live in and do not want to move, this may not be a bad deal as they most likely (guessing here) will airline you from your home to your TDY base on the first and last parts of the month. Your hotel and (maybe) a rental car will be paid for.

However, as mentioned above your schedule will not allow any sort of commutability with this TDY base. As it stands right now, this TDY base will not be a good idea for married pilots who want to actually see their families. To those who are applying due to the "home every night" aspect, take note.
