Yeah BOS will grow from "not considering opening a new base at this time" to "strong contender."

Speaking of opening up new bases, I hear the FAs are looking at opening up some new bases - or at least gauging interest. Where is DALFA? What have you guys been hearing? Among the places I am hearing is..........................................DFW! Who knows what happens and I doubt it would affect Pilots much. Might make commuting out of the new FA bases a tad easier.

They’re getting DFW RDU LAS PHX TPA. Temporary bases as a test run to see if they will open them as permanent bases - cuts back on hotel costs and large population of FA’s living in these cities

It’s just a matter of time before they have to do the same for pilots. Maybe not so many bases, but eventually pilots will stop coming to DAL because everyone else has bases in FL and TXs.

Same thing that happened with the hotels and uniforms. UAL added MCO and LAS pilot bases because there live a lot of them and no one was upgrading.
