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.

So said VBer gets to drive to work for a so so trip for a month or two and the turmoil of guessing next months VBs keeps us all on edge when trying to bid based on little precedent. 1 commuters so so joy turns to remorse when it all goes away. Thinking of the group not a few select temporary beneficiaries. But that creative result could be true but how will we know if it benefits anyone when the time taken from the base is redistributed? Remember no base owns flying so this will shift the entire system. You are an optimist, but I'm still not seeing it.
