Already a thing. Some of EWR's best day trips are flown by out of base pilots laying over in NYC. You know, because the schedule is optimized company-wide, not base-by-base. So EWR pilots get 30 hour layovers in DSM, MCI, and TUL instead of FL and Caribbean turns.
ORD, DEN and IAH have a lot more gates then EWR. Take back scope and there will be more flying than you know what to do with.
