Not a possibility of involuntary TDY, the dissolution of the VBD base will guarantee involuntary TDYs. If you're in the bottom 10% of a seasonally fluctuating base, IWA, LAX, VPS, come to mind, you can say goodbye to your home for a few months a year. This will be a big hit to our pilot's QOL.
Yep. Even with VBDs, the TDY percentage is running 11-15% in IWA this summer. We have had guys volunteering for a few slots, so involuntary TDY has only run about 5%, but it is definitely higher than it should be.

42% of August TDYs are involuntary. People aren’t exactly beating down the door to spend a month on the road without a rental car and in hotels without kitchens or good food options.

What happens this month vs what will happen when VBD are two different animals. I’ve been here a very long time. Seasonal bases will be filled without a problem by plenty of willing participants.
