I swear there are so many 757s flying out of MCO it's insane we don't have a pilot hub there. I mean you have 32 757s flights to and from ATL, 8 757s to and from MSP, 12 757s to and from DTW and 2 757s each to and from LAX and SLC.

That's 56 flights that either land or leave MCO every day, why can't it be a MCO pilot hub?

It's a maintenance hub and a flight attendant hub, but not pilots? How many 757 pilots have to be put up a night there? Well, this I know, every pilot on an overnight there has to be provided a hotel.

I had a layover in MCO last trip and also marveled at the size of the MCO operation. It sure would make sense to open up a base there... and boy would it go senior!
