I presume you are new but the union shut it down before the test started.
I was here well before the MCO VB attempt took place. The primary issue with our virtual basing was that they were going to be inconsistently operated and bid for on a month-to-month basis.
All of the current small FA bases (BOS, FLL/MIA, HNL, MCO, SFO) are year-round. The only aspect that makes them “virtual” is the lack of in-person IFS management at the physical base locations. They are remotely managed by IFS personnel from other bases. There is nothing in the PWA preventing the company from opening new bases that don’t have CPO personnel on-site.
