Although the CBA is vague on co-domicile language, one potential benefit would be saving money on either employee parking or ground transportation. It would be expensive to pay for parking at both airports for everyone in a co-domicile situation. The only other benefit is having reserves with the callout time based on reporting to MIA, which doesn't seem like it would do much.

Honestly for me that’s a bonus but I know if you commute turns are terrible (been there done that). Also why are we opening bases that frontier already has? Why add overlap before we try and get approved for the merger? This makes no sense to me.

Not only commuters will be impacted but I fly with a lot guys that live an hour or more from the airport. This is going to suck all around. Also, it seems day trips pay less…
I also think some bases may shrink. Not only trying to staff the new bases but I think some bases have less departures than some focus cities.

Very very few multi day trips are rigged for TAFB and that’s the only way they could pay less than a day trip.

I love turns and two days especially but this will lead to more bases. More bases means less flexibility. A few massive bases are best for flexibility for all unless you commute from a city that will be a new base then it’s great for those people

Just look at the schedules now and see how many more 3-5 leg days there were than before. And that will then result in more short overnights. Even with the 18 hour trigger this contract, I’ve noticed my short stay overnights exceeding long stay. Basically they are working us more and will continue as we add dots.
Hopefully at least the day trips will pay higher credit with increased utilization. But I’m expecting 3-4 leg days with that. LAS guys will get punished with that west coast hop crap.
