Fake dh’s are added for legality check purposes not for free positive space travel for our of base pickup.
From June 1st MEC update:
Enhancements to Out-of-Base Trip Trades for Basic Trips
Effective June 1, the process for administering Out-of-Base Lineholder Trip trades for Basic Trips will be improved, which should make it easier for Out-of-Base Lineholders to be considered legal to pick up Out-of-Base Basic trips. This update provides information on the need for a one-minute Fake DHD to build these Trips, why pilots need to be aware of the potential for different CCO times within a crew, and the type of training crew schedulers have received regarding this new procedure.
