What if we could create some kind of satellite base with BOS trips created from NYC block hours, then bid those hours from the NYC bid pack. Maybe we could even build a DH at the front and back of the month to get pilots in position from NYC. If it works, we could try the same for MCO from ATL time. It seems like a flexible solution for creating trips without the financial risk of opening/closing a base. Seems like a win/win. Maybe on a trial basis?

Great idea, you can do that now, Bid NYC or ATL get senior and commute. Or encourage Fltops is open a thing called a base. I'm guessing my home base will not happen though, no airline service from my airport. Unless...
