It’s risky and expensive thanks to our MD and paid move process. So we can sit around and wonder why we don’t have any other domiciles, but they aren’t going to do it. As long as you are happy with our bases, nothing to worry about it. (Except CVG)
VB was middle ground, a risk for both parties. 90+ pilots got the MCO award, only to have it yanked without even trying it out for a month. There were even guardrails, like no starting with ocean crossings and the voluntary aspect. It could have been great, it could have stunk. We won’t know.

I flew for an airline that had virtual bases. I have first hand experience.
Bad faith huh? Talk to me about our 25+ scope violations and then when you can justify that come talk to me about bad faith.
