To be clear, while it is going to be a 170 MX base, nothing has been said about it being a 170 crew base.
I have to say that it would be a mistake for RJET to add to it's midwestern/northeastern outstation lunacy, but someone in SDF must know where the bodies are buried because when the CHQ cutbacks were announced, management made a great and immediate effort to "reassure" SDF folks that keeping the MX facility there was a high priority. I don't understand it, but perhaps someone else could offer some insight.
