Yup. Done it a few times. If they open PHL as a co base, with more flights out of PHL, with that longer drive, at 50% surface deadhead pay(1hr/2hrpay); im saying my original point, that this isnt something that just happens in a vacuum that only affects 1 base.
MIA and FLL is a compliant CObase if they do it. If they do it or dont do it, pilots from all bases are required to make the surface DH to those bases. Making a base easier for a cobase (over the contractual limit, not MIA/FLL) only makes it easier for the company to grow those bases. Growing those bases while shuffling pilots back and forth at ground transportation pay is something that affects all pilots, not just a single base pilot
And down the rabbit hole we went...Original point was discussing what we will give up on a public forum, based on what 1 base wants. Ill personally leave it at that.
