I'm just waiting for the day that some airline decides to "home base" pilots. For example, allow that certain pilot to live in a major city that has atleast "X" amount flights per day. At this point they will either DH or find away for the pilot to start that pilots trip at that major city and then end it at that city with either a flight or DH. Obviously, there are tons a variables and would be costly, but if this was a way of solving that specific airlines pilot problems it could be successful. Imagine if UAL announced something along this line and PDX and SEA were in that group. Talk about attrition.
This is just something that the guy and I were chatting about on the trip last week.
