Hello!

I am slightly confused on the topic of "crew bases". Is this like a secondary hub for crew members? Say if a company has a crew base in LAX and a major hub in ATL do those crew members living in LAX get positive space commuting to atl? what is exactly the benefit or point of having a crew base?

sidenote, does delta still have a LAX crew base? Because I am trying to non rev from ATL-LAX and I heard from a fellow ramper that it can be hell because of all the FA's and pilots that list for those flights at the last minute.

Thanks!
