Volunteering for abase now is like going home from the picket lines in a strike and then volunteering for overtime! Don't do it. CC is a withdrawl of your goodwill. If CX is desperate for based pilots and you become one, you've helped to put out another fire for them. Don't do it - please - not for a while. Your day will come soon enough if we all just sit tight and keep our goodwill to ourselves.
