Outstation basing. Whereas a few years ago 9k based the vast majority of caribbean pilots in SJU, they changed to basing more in outstations - STT, STX, EIS, VQS, etc. All the guys who have homes and families in SJU can barely hold a line on there, as the once large hub station now has no more lines than the outstations do.

I think the islands, in general, are junior. But SJU, specifically is senior.
