A "few" commuters? Let me ask you this: Who is going to bid VB/TDY? I'll answer: All most all if not all commuters. Why would a guy living in base bid one? This will be a huge boon to all 767 and smaller commuters. I don't see bigger aircraft being part of a VB.
The great thing about this is.............we (the union) can stop/call a halt/end this if we don't like it! As a non commuter (was one for quite awhile) I'm all for giving it a shot and seeing how it works out. This could be a huge QOL improvement for all commuters. Yes it's going to cut down on DH and thus require less pilots to be hired but as someone mentioned, with the current hiring and retirements coming up, it won't even be felt.
