The location/base models is obsolete and needs to be changed. Flying continues to free flow around the system. Every crew resources newsletter states no base owns any flying. With new aircraft coming and old airplanes consolidating and being closed your Lat/long at any given time is meaningless. Add 365 AEs and 24 month locks and you couldn’t chase the flying if you tried. This BTW is also why VBs were a terrible idea. There is no baseline for any amount of flying in any fleet in any base.
