There has been no mention of any such thing. Either way, if there's no way for you to get there via jumpseat, I don't see how home basing will help you.

That's true. The nice thing about home basing is that it takes the onus off of you to get yourself into place. ABX would have to ramp up the travel department pretty quick to do it. And that would cost money. Soaper's probably all over it..... *wink*

I’m not familiar with this DP you speak of, but it would be nice to just adjust the jumpseat policy given the circumstances.

I thought DP drove from PNS to CVG, unless there's a DP in JAX that I don't know about.

I thought ABX pilots are opposed to home basing.

They definitely gave ATI pilots a lot of crap for valuing it. It's different pilot groups with different prefs.

Not all ABX pilots support home-basing. Of course some do/some don't. The general discussions are how you "value" the dollar of those costs or do you prefer to see the $ in other CBA areas (compensation, rules, retirement, etc.).

I think the crap (as you put it) isn't specifically directed at home basing or any other particular item. Generally the friction is from a conglomeration of things and not just a single issue. Most of this has calmed down...but there are still individuals on both sides who don't let the horse lay.

The above is thread drift....On topic ABX is not temporarily home based. The company is trying different things assisting in distancing and minimizing the potential of illness among crew-members. It will all go away someday; probably soon.
