The problem they run into setting up pilot bases vs FA bases is the potpourri of equipment that will make up those 30-40 flights per day. It may be 6 or 8 different types and categories for us, and the mix will change monthly. Mix doesn't matter for the FAs.

I realize the pilots living in DFW don't mind if all their trips begin and end with a DH, but that's not how mgt sees it.

So much for that fleet simplification move we were on a few years back.
