I can think of one hypothetical positive (but purely that). What if the pilots in a VB (MCO 7ER for example, restricted to non ocean crossings per the contract) are senior commuters? Now the same guys currently flying sweet 3 day Europe trips might rather drive to work to fly a so so domestic. Thus the junior guys living in base are more senior and the VB guys can drive to work.

A true "win win." Of course we can turn that story on its head with a different twist and make it a "lose lose."

Devil is in the details, of which I'm skeptical.
