The company small flight attendant bases are virtual. Some are seasonal and others have been closed and new ones opened. Delta can open new pilot bases anytime they want. They can’t however be virtual or seasonal. The management team was very receptive and had bid out the first virtual base for pilots in MCO. I presume you are new but the union shut it down before the test started.
All of the current small FA bases (BOS, FLL/MIA, HNL, MCO, SFO) are year-round. The only aspect that makes them “virtual” is the lack of in-person IFS management at the physical base locations. They are remotely managed by IFS personnel from other bases. There is nothing in the PWA preventing the company from opening new bases that don’t have CPO personnel on-site.

Yep, I think spirit work rules/scheduling are close to top in the industry. Their pay rates were fast approaching and would probably have eclipsed ours too, but now we'll see what happens with the merger.

Wow. Just crunching the numbers $250/hr for 10 yr Spirit Capt at 75 hrs a month is 225k. So 400k is quite a bit of premium pay. Good for them.

I was here well before the MCO VB attempt took place. The primary issue with our virtual basing was that they were going to be inconsistently operated and bid for on a month-to-month basis.

Time to close the thread I guess. No PSC issues of note.
As for virtual basing, we’ll probably revisit the concept in the coming years and commuters will likely entertain the idea. The problem of too much ‘quid’ for not enough ‘quo’ will probably continue to be the sticking point. By the time the union pulled it down most commuters were opposed to VB.
