Does the company moving flying from one base to another not already abrogate seniority? Who is the special interest if they open a VB in say LAS and MCO? Can not everyone bid for it?
Not making a case for VB, and I can't see how to make it work without causing huge problems, but a lot of the arguments guys make based on a hypothetical seem just as implausible.
