And if you are one of the junior to mid-pack NB-A's that bid down to WB-B over the loss of QOL then that subtle change may have cost you financially.

Since the early 2000's the company has only closed bases, not opened them. They kept CVG open FOREVER because the LEC was notorious for providing the company with HAZZARDOUS yes votes when needed. The company would like to open VB's but that is another massive abrogation of seniority in and of itself. With something like 50% DH pay, this will really incentivize the company to deadhead pilots all over the place to staff airports that are likely already FA bases. If one thinks they are getting slingshot across the system now chasing IROPS, just wait until it only costs half as much! If the company is parking something like DH, then they see massive gains.
