'Cause the way marketing schedules the airline you have block hours that can vary widely in each base depending on the season. So in a heavy month they need all the pilots in a particular base but in the slow months they will TDY the "excess" to whatever other base is busy and short of pilots.

Just about the only reason to put up with that kind of sh*tty G4 work environment is so you can get the type rating and build hours.
