Looks like G4 doesn't know how to staff their unique non-standard airline. I guess that "home every night" concept is shrinking, and with the new bases opening up, I'm sure the 10% number will increase soon.
The TDY information is somewhat misleading... The company recently changed the rules pertaining to the VBD base and have subsequently rolled both TDY and VBD assignments into one bid. ~35 of the 55 are regular VBD folks so in reality about 20 of 550 are being TDY'd.
