Latest rumor on the crew bases. LAS will open sometime next year(1st Qrt) as a crew base to alleviate all the re-eyes from Vegas. Also, PHL will open sometime before the end of next year and TTN will be no more as the airport failed to deliver on their promise. Denver will continue to shrink with attrition into the new bases. Again, just gospel but apparently it came from someone high in mgmt.

By this time next year 1000-1200 pilots on property. 400 - 450 in Denver : 200 in ORD : 200 in MCO and 200 in LAS. (adjust other bases to reach 1200) We will then have a base in each time zone.

I don't believe the company is going to open a western domicile that soon. I think Vegas is very competitive with spirit, southwest, allegiant, and everyone else. I think the company will hold out, wait for more planes and evaluate between Vegas and Phoenix...a little further down the road.

They'll let the Orlando base shake out for a while before they add another base. I bet a western domicile doesn't open for a year. Just my guess though. Also, my money is on Phoenix.

As in, widely open to whatever interpretation works best for the story at the time?

Jk. I know you meant 'gossip'.

Just break it down in plain English F9!

How many pilots are you currently up to now? Does anyone have an up to date number?

They also need to grow the fleet 10-15 airframes before adding another domicile.

Sorry Sulk, my psychic abilities are being strained trying to come up with the winning Powerball numbers so you can move up the list a spot ;-)

I'm just guessing too, but have been watching the show here for a long time so I've got a good idea where our strengths, weaknesses and needs are.

I agree with Aero1900. I don't think there will be any more domiciles opened until they get MCO running, and until the shock of the crew movements settles down. At least I hope they don't try to move all the checkers at once!
