So they need to also have a provision that the flying seats on a home based flight can't be scheduled to be flown by out of base pilots!
Kind of hard for me to pick up a flying trip when all that's available to my BES is IRO seats since out of base pilots have all the flying spots on some of our routes. "But we have a shortage of pilots..." then pay premium for the IRO seat openings.
What a kick in the teeth!
