This is about reducing pilot jobs, period.
It's about efficiency, and increased efficiency means less pilots required, which means a company makes more money, which is the reason they exist.
I'm just thinking that they probably have a way to use vbasing to be more efficient that we have not yet effectively identified, otherwise they wouldn't have put it in the contract at all. This thought that vbasing will be useless to the company does not pass the sniff test. Does that mean we should pull it down? How about we see how we feel in a year?
