You would have to find a city that is not a current hub, supports enough flights that reserve coverage is workable and has enough pilots in both seats willing to bid from a existing CS100 base into the VB. Pilots who bid LAX or SEA when the category opens are highly unlikely to want to commute to a VB.

Interesting, the council 1 communication had a note about the c series bases, and it specifically mentioned a mid west VB as the next thing to open after LAX. So, did they just change their mind? Or are they really that unsure what they are planning...

Direct quote was "C series will likely have its first base in LAX flying coast to coast. The second C series base may be a virtual base, and there are no plans for a c series base in MSP."
