That's usually my attitude too!

IMO "Temporary Duty" allows for other bases to poach your bases flying by seemingly looking like it's in base flying because everyone is "based" in base...........at least for the month. What's the difference between another base flying your bases trips and bringing pilots in, on a temporary basis from another base, to fly your trips? I'll answer: NOTHING! Except it will reduce credit and manning along with a reduction in overtime and allow management almost unlimited flexibility. You wanna see even more pilots based in ATL? It's definitely a step closer to having all pilots based there.......

I know Sailingfun, I'm crying wolf here, making dire predictions etc. It really won't affect me much if any other than maybe not getting some overtime, I've only got 5.5 years left, but I do think this is a camels nose under the tent or worse...
