You could move from DH8 FO to jet CA regardless of base so that doesn't really make any difference. The problem was not being to go from CRJ FO to DH8 CA, or any FO to FO moves. Having aircraft co-based opens up all of those possibilities in a domicile displacement. My point is that the company will obviously try to avoid co-basing whenever it can, however there are times where it can't reasonably be avoided (such as UAL saying 175s are going to IAD).
