I understand the appeal of starting a trip from home but it’s only going to help the few people that commute from CMH, CMI, and XNA.
Lots of other stations fit the bill. They can do it with any number of pilots. They bid the mini-base for six months, kinda like the CRJ guys used to bid the Aspen flying. The company then knows how many lines they can build there. It’s not rocket science.
