I literally spit out my disaronno/cranberry when I read this. Funny because it's so true.

With all of the commuters from there, I would imagine you'd have your senior guys, nothing in the middle and then junior folks.

That's OK. I've been trying using the term hub for our "bases" for 12 years now. I'm not going to stop now.

When I was riding to PHX from DAL the other day, one of the cabin crew told me she had some senior execs on one of her flights, that said STL as a crew base was going on the back-back burner for a while. The focus for the next year or two will be on LAX and a HI satellite base.
