There will be some, but I am thinking that a CVG trip will originate with something like CVG-DCA, BWI, etc and then continue with JFK out and backs for 4 days. As a reserve though I expect it to be a lot like this month, 76 hours of credit with 30 hours of block.
They won't offer TDY there, because JFK will be Comair's base. CVG will wither down to nothing and there will be no need for a Comair base in CVG. When that happens, everyone will be based in JFK (or the other "NE" base that has been rumored for the past two years. BOS?).
