Did SSC work for many years and the company has floated satellite bases many times. That was the case you speak to. We allow only a true base with regards to pilot manning for many reasons. I’m not in the mood to explain but let’s just say the answer is no to that concept and always has been. If you need a deeper explanation, PDR the SSC manpower folks for info.
