A virtual base will not be located:
a. outside the contiguous 48 states of the United States.
b. at an existing pilot base.
A virtual base rotation will not:
a. begin with an ocean crossing flight segment.
b. contain an ocean crossing flight segment to or from an existing pilot base.

I would lay odds you don't espouse your manifesto on the line. Unless you fly with new hires.

The forum here has been nothing but doom and gloom for the last 10 years. Reality has been far different.

There was one mention of job loss from VB's and a offset we got. Both were minor. The 85 hour ALV was a far greater impact.
