He only listed the bases for Republic (YX). Chautauqua (RP) and Shuttle (S5) bases are not listed.
After the downsizing at RP, the remaining RP bases will be:
SDF
LGA
CMH
S5 bases are as follows:
LGA
ORD
CMH
IND
EWR (opening in the next month)
PIT flies the Q400 and the E170 on the YX certificate ONLY. It is senior for good most E170 CAs, but also junior for E170 CAs since nobody wants to commute to PIT. PIT Q400 CA is junior, PIT Q400 FO is junior. Pit is easy out of training.
In my humble opinion, PIT is WAAAAY overbuilt for an outstation and will be downsizing as soon as American decides where our next base will be. That said, I think it will continue to be a junior base since it is a tough commute. Expect lots of early starts (5:00am or earlier) and lots of late finishes.
