But is that worth a commute to you? Decision you have to make for yourself.

Only base with 190 red eye turns.

Your not just on rsv in MCO you are on rsv in Florida! LIMOs everywhere! Makes it a little hard to predict open trips while on rsv.

Other potential cons: If you live in MCO and do a VDA in MCO, you get virtual DHD credit to/from your official base. So that's an additional 6 hours at VDA rates on top of the pairing credit for each assignment if you are based in BOS. So it's really all about your personal choices. QOL or money. (Just like every other choice in this industry)

How do you figure? You hear something about them finishing section 25 by then?

Either way it is very, very short term and not something to base a decision upon.

I think they are counting on global open time killing most VDAs.

GOT is at base. I doubt it will be a game changer.

Full implementation is around a very near corner and paper dh credit goes away so basing a decision on that is dumb.

How so? The below appears to be implemented, and isn't changing right?

3.O.5
A pilot assigned a pairing that originates from an airport other than his Base (other than global open time) shall receive pay as follows:
A)DHD credit from his base to the airport
B)Credit for the pairing
C)Deadhead credit back to his base if segments operated does not end in base.

That's possible, but there will still be the "holy crap, we need a pilot NOW" calls. They just might be more rare.

Correct.

Missed that.

It will take time to see how this all shakes out. The current VDA with paper DH was the first domino after RSA because it was based upon system-wide seniority.

This I would imagine will be the last domino before the flight CNXs after POTFCFS, RSA, VDA, GOT rostering, then ...
