If for some bizarre reason both bases are available (for my seniority level) I want to ensure I get DTW from the get go. Additionally, I don't want to be responsible for housing while in retaining and not get per diem because I'm 'home-based'.
I was furloughed from cvg and in my recall letter said that I would be based in JFK. I just saw the follow up letter and it said that all recalled pilots will be getting a hotel and per diem (they assume none of us will be able to hold CVG).
