I could maybe see a single combined INTL bid category for the LR flying that covered the flying of both bases (obviously the group would either be based in Boston or JFK). Two small sub-groups would be even more inefficient. Having to train a subset of pilots and staff a foolproof (Jb-proof) group of reserves for only 6 aircraft (per base) would be ridiculous!
