in 2015 UA closed their pilot base at SEA. Not too sure how long it had been open but they once flew DC-3s out of there.
Back in the 60s I believe it was the most senior domicile UA had. But after absorbing Northwest, Delta sort of ran them out. A lot of very senior people found themselves commuting to SFO.
There are no guaranteed safe bases. In the course of a career, becoming a commuter sometime is damn near inevitable.

we are not talking about small bases here… we are talking about massive hubs.
AA is never getting rid of DFW!
Delta is never getting rid of ATL!
Spirit/JetBlue is never getting rid of FLL! (Florida is their bread and butter)
let’s not be so obtuse

The XLR’s are planned for Europe use. They’re not a 757 so you can probably bet the NE bases will get most of them. The NX’s can do the other missions temperature permitting.
