The trick would be this: Get them to include your re-position flight as a work segment that cannot occur on one of your minimum days off, and to be included as a flight segment and FDP time as per 117.
This ^^^
I think it would be huge for QOL. It would totally take away a lot of the pressure with this job. It would mean more time at home, more rest, and less stress overall. However I don't think it will ever happen. Management looks at it like we have the "privilege" to be able to live where we want and commute. They don't see it as their responsibility to get us into base (nor are they obligated to). I think home basing would be a big recruiting bump for the first regional to offer it.
