I heard direct from Ferris that it's going to be 787s. And this was confirmed by the MCO van driver. I've been told that MCO even has a big, brand new international terminal (C) built exclusively for United 787s.

Again, I'm disappointed at the failure of people to trust the normal channels of information. Unless the LHR van drivers say it's so, it's never going to happen....

BOS could be a good “Shallow Europe” launching point for the new Airbus’s replacing the 757…

LAS appears to be working just fine. LAS reserves are staffing LAX, SFO, and a little bit of DEN all within short DH distance.

Crew Resources has that stated part of the new base concept was to entice new hires. I would think that is also working at LAS, and it would certainly hurt the Eskimo a bit at SEA.

With zero ramp space left in hubs for overnight airplanes and the shear numbers of aircraft showing up, I’d say anything’s possible.

No. The reason for the outstation bases is due to lack of pilots willing to upgrade in the hubs. This is not a problem on the WB, there are no unfilled CA WB vacancies.

Im hearing SEA.

If it’s true SK wants to stick it to AA, look at BOS, PHL, PHX.

Yep. One of the example routes Airbus has been touting is NYC-FCO. I think we’ll see ORD to shallow europe and east coast to most of Europe, especially thin or off season routes.
