There's an infinite number of examples of the company doing something stupid that has no cost advantage. Why do they DH crews to SEA to fly SEA-ICN, SEA-LHR, etc? Bottom line, every base will lose time with VBs. And the "no ocean crossing first leg" rule will be the first to go by surrender monkey LOA.
