I promise you, I'm not mis-informed. Outside of maybe one or two people im about as informed as you can be on this. I'll buy the first round if we ever get a 170 base in SDF. Not going to happen. We are already getting the hammer dropped on us for our basing by the code share partners. (read the last sermon?) the old way of doing business is over. Don't believe me, look at the bases we've opened since Wx-low left. (and the ones we've closed, and the displacements) As the staffing crunch gets bigger, our need to centralize will only get bigger as well. Also, did you see how many senior SDF captains just bid to Republic? If the numbers hold out and we are predominately an east coast airline, we'll have east coast bases. putting some planes to bed in SDF and sending crews to the hotel. (like pretty much everyone else does) Hopefully soon we'll have numbers to show people supporting each argument and people can decide for themselves.
