West Coast base is atleast a blip on the radar. I know there has been some feasiability reports done on it.. If it goes any farther than analysis I'd be very suprised short term..perosnal opinion

Another issue with the Neo's is what kind of trips they will be flying.. Will it be 2 day trips out of HNL.. Or 3 day trips out of HNL where even the most senior will have to give up days off for a line.... (or we vote in better daily rigs in a few years)

Not sure how a West Coast base would change anything. But maybe with the new 117, West Coast basing would allow easier 2 day trip pairings or turns?? And with 16+ a/c going back and forth, maybe a west Coast base would aid in hiccup recovery??

Either way the Neo's can't get here soon enough.. Giving AK a decade head start was a poor move IMO..
