This is good info! Any base west of ORD will go very senior. I flew with many FOs from west of the Mississippi.

It wasn’t when he asked. It was just floating in the “regional” forum and was moved.

That’s very un-APC. You should continue to throwing flaming spears in his direction until he responds and this thread is sufficiently derailed.

Good, maybe then it won't take 15 years to hold ORD as a captain.

Made me chuckle reading all the interesting rumors. Base rumors in the West, M&A potentials and rumors, then full blown unsubstantiated speculation that its likely Houston.

We can’t make this stuff up.
