Agreed.

The problem I see with virtual bases is that the company can change it willy nilly and there are no ramifications. This month PDX is a 330 VB, 3 months later BOS is a 330 VB. Meanwhile, all the guys who were driving to work are now commuting again.

VB = no obligation and no ramifications to the company.

Is there a problem officer?

If the company wants a base somewhere, let them open one via the AE process.

BINGO! Less pay... No positive space...

Absolute no to virtual bases!
