Based upon this logic Colorado Springs and Palm Springs should close since Mx can still flow a/c through without the pilot domicile and given their proximity to DIA and LAX.
My point? He's using logic to close a base that operates UAL and DAL flights because of a US base opening up doesn't hold much weight. If TUS closes it's due to SKW continuing attempt to close outstation domiciles in order to consolidate their pilots in HUB cities. This assists in running a thinner operation. PHX only assisted in the demise of TUS because it helps them relocate senior pilots without paying the high price of a base closure.
