No basis in that article whatsoever. And it directly contradicts what SK and his network planner said in charm school not long ago. No plans to open a new base.

funny.. I was actually in charm school mid January and spoke to the guy on Zoom. They’re definitely looking. Hard.

UAL planned to have a MCO hub back in 1991. Started building it up but then they bought the Pan Am Latin network in 1992. So that killed the MCO plan.

But calling MIA a hub is pushing it. A focus city with a crew domicile would be more appropiate.

in 1999:
Domestic Destinations Served:
Atlanta, Chicago O'Hare, Denver, Los Angeles, New York LaGuaria, Newark, Orlando, Washington Dulles,
Washington National

based on the above link MIA peaked at 36 flights a day (subject to months not reported)

Really? They were pretty direct about wanting to expand current hubs and not open new ones when I went through. Rule nothing out I guess.....

Chicago Tribine, Bloomberg, Denver Post, Business Journal and various other credible legit journalism sources report on legal documents of UAL' acquisition of additional real estate in Denver.
🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️ oh puh-lease ehhh probably nothing.

viewfromthewing speculates on an opening of a new hub in Florida with zero evidence.

Tomatoe - tomato. We had a 777 crew base in MIA flying SA routes as I recall (the remnants of the Pan AM purchase). It was a pretty sweet gig. Sure would love to have that option again.
