Wow... just WOW. Please tell me these people do not seriously think that home basing is worth at least $50K+ a year?? First off, greater than half their trips start out of domicile (combi type trips). These people have to be airlined into position anyway, so they don't use home basing. They get NO value out of it. Secondly, you can buy a LOT of airline tickets (for commuting) for way less than $50k. But using this line of thinking, your leadership has convinced you to undermine an entire industry.
