Increase in JMs, involuntary TDYs, possible trans con commute/ 2 leg commute, possibility of flow being stopped, etc. Growth is good but too much too soon is not what we want. The negatives don't outweigh the positives right now. I think we need to figure out the shortage of captains first before we start opening new bases.
