I think this item actually represents both an opportunity and a threat, and we'll need to be all over it, and very slart about it. We need close adult supervision. We need to be all over the MEC, not necessarily to pull it, but extend the test out, or otherwise preserve the option to pull it down.

It reads like the test period can be extended/cancelled/whatever. For personal reasons, I see no benefit, but perhaps some can enjoy better lives, so I'm willing to look at it, and let it be tested.

The day this MEMRATs (if it does) we should all pressure our reps to pull this toxic provision down ASAP. There is no reason for it on our side. I'm very Pro-Commuter and have been regardless of commuting status. But this is stupid from a group perspective. Really stupid. We need to pull it ASAP.
Its not a TA rejection issue, because if we even would reject it because of this, we could easily reject it afterwards with the current language. So I'll look past it for TA evaluation, but we need to get these pulled immediately.

TRYING to be positive, I could see this leading to future bases.
Actual bases will be affected assuming the new bases don't end up as growth opportunities and new markets.

I don't see it that way. As long as we're addicted to operating every single fleet on earth and also giving marketing absolute control over every aspect of flight ops, we're not going to get very many if any additional bases. VB's don't help this and in fact may make it worse because it gives them the ability to pull down "bases" entirely due to seasons or equipment shifts.
