Sucks now but in the long run I see this as a win win. More bases means less commuting (and hopefully greater credit/duty ratio). Instead of the inefficient 10hr 2 day that credits 7 hrs day 1 then 3 hours day 2, there will be more 5.5/6/6.5+ hr 1 day turns. More credit/day equals more days off. The company saves from less crews per plane and less hotel costs. Originally Posted by Dragonslayer69

Transitioning will be painful but once in place will be better IMO when there are bases in 15-20 different cities (Baltimore, Cleveland, Raleigh, Charlotte, Cincy, Chicago, San Juan and maybe even San Fran, Fort Myers or Detroit).
