Yeah its crazy to me too. To me, to send a Msp pilots out of base for recurrent, cost them more in terms of lost flying days, than it does in extra per diem. You would still be better off sending a new hire out of base and paying their perdiem and hotel room than to waste anot her day for a line pilot, deadheading the pilot to training.
