I hope that happens. Would certainly require a LOA though.
I know of instances where people are picking up out of base and can't possibly be rested for the duty period. (I don't care about the regs, I'm talking about reality) It's unacceptable. I'm sure it's happening multiple times every day.
If you get into any type of accident/ incident the FAA and NTSB are going to be looking very carefully at what you were doing prior to reporting for duty. Some people are obviously putting their careers (or worse) at risk to steal premiums from other bases.
