I think that's partly TIC?
The real question is whether the group benefits, both those that take the VB/TDY, and those that stay in base. TDY in particular seems like a tool to adjust staffing between bases, almost in real time.
There is a ton here that needs to be looked at, carefully. I think we owe it to the people that want these to experiment with this, just as I think we owe it to all existing pilots to evaluate the pros and cons.
I have a hunch that this will reduce credit, and probably reduce average trip length.
