Ask yourself what a micro base is and how the company would like to handle staffing and reserves in such a base?
I have no clue what a micro base is. It's not much ado about nothing because this sets a bad precedence and singles out a few pilots for a good deal. But I guess we will offer this again when they announce the second wave of 747 retirements too. But somehow, the training cascade that will be generated by the 757 retirements isn't as important. I wonder why.
