Wouldn't need to be. It could start as a domestic leg and bounce around, end up in FLL and hop the pond the next day, right?

It could but why would it be any cheaper then doing that with a ATL, DTW or NYC crew verses a VB crew.

You are stuck on cost. This is about unchecked flexibility and the current version is not the desired end state.

What you stated though is neither outside of the box nor highly flexible. They can do that now.

It only would if doing so reduced credit and therefore pilot jobs.

I'm against VB's regardless of if they do international legs or not. Either way they cost pilot jobs.

Huh? We have a south FL base? I must have missed an AE.
