The problem is you have to already be qualified on the VB fleet type to even bid it. How is it fair to open a base that the vast majority of pilots cant even bid into because the wheel of type rating stopped on the wrong lug? I wont even waste the energy explaining how management would use this to whipsaw pilots, modify bidding behavior, etc. Do you really want to give this much nebulous power to a management team that closed bases over FMLA use vs economics? While other airlines were opening bases? You have a long ride here, critical thinking hat on.
