After consolidation of certificates and streamlining the fleet to all 175s, YX has closed a total of ZERO bases in 3+ years.
With 13 bases now, I’m not saying they won’t close any in the future. Honestly, 13 seems a bit too many. But regardless of what people want to say on here, the outstation model is cheaper AND it’s a recruiting tool. There’s many people that want to live in these cities that offer a great QOL with low cost of living.
To come out of left field and say YX opens and closes bases “constantly” just shows you’re clearly out of the loop. There hasn’t been a base closure since the 145/Q400 days.

Just because it hasn’t happened to you or even recently doesn’t mean someone is out of the loop for pointing out a truth. But remember what the Reverend says “You choose to commute” ...... to your 4th base in 2 years. Ugh

Probably a lot more. This was when RAH had 3 separate certificates flying multiple different types of aircraft though. I honestly don’t know what the last all-175 base was to close.
