Is there a reason we don’t have a similar provision here and all premium trips seem to need to start in a base? Spirit pilots found value in it and it was a hugely popular contractual provision among commuters and in base pilots alike.
Scheduling is allowed to pull a pilot in an outstation to cover a flight (say a 320 pilot that lives in AUS and a pilot gets sick there on a layover). To do so requires them to build a legal rotation and 23m7 pay the senior skipped pilot.
