New Bases?
During our new hire indoc, one of the executives (sorry, can't remember his name) came in and spoke to us. He said that we were going to have to open some new bases in the future to meet our upcoming goals. So, to get the mill turning, what are some of your guesses of possible new bases?

Now that the comapny can assign NBCAs to anywhere they need them, idk if we'll see new bases. If we do still open them, I bet it'll be on the NB in SEA, PHX, and BOS. An AUS/SAT cobase actually makes sense to me too with that new MX hangar supposedly going up in SAT. On the WB I think we'll see DEN or ORD 777 and that'll be it for awhile.

MCO worked because people wanted to be based there.
LAS was/is a flop. Everyone who wanted out of a seat lock bid Vegas then bid out. At first LAS looked like a success but now as time has passed they have unfilled CA and FO bids and the base has shrunk.
unless the company knows they have a location like MCO then I don’t see them ever opening another outstation base.

I agree, the pilot group used the Contract, as they should, but it caused a massive training problem.
