SEA Base Future
Read today that the SEA flight attendant base is closing. With the previous closure of the SEA 777 pilot base, what is expected to happen with the 757/767 base there? I know it's small, will it be converted to an airplane that transits SEA more or will they just close it?

Under the UPA, SEAFO is required to stay open until Dec. 2014. After that you can guess what happens to a single-fleet domicile with less than 10 lines of flying. My guess is that UAL won't be able to give Delta gates fast enough.

Hmmm... what will they do with information that makes sense and makes pilots happy?

Not only that, but the lines also had zero slop in them - credit=block, a win for the company. That's why you won't see a SEA 737, it makes sense.

Based on what i heard this week at charm school, it won't surprise me to see it close soon.
VP of Revenue talking points were......
We don't think its a battle we can win with delta and Alaska there. And even if we do win, what do we get? A redundancy to our SFO hub. Delta only doing it because they have no west coast hub and it's tough for them $$ wise. Can only afford to do it because of the $$ they make out of ATL. We would rather spend our efforts on building SFO.

Then today, an overheard comment started a rumor having something to with us and Alaska. NO idea whatsoever as to the validity or scope of that comment........just that it was overheard.

Probably never happen. Can't see it getting approved. But if it does I hope we adopt all of their IT.
