So what do you guys think about a West coast 717 base? If it is to support a LAX-SFO-SEA type of shuttle then LAX or SEA would seem logical.

If this is the case I would think LAX would get it because it is already providing the Gates for the Compass flights that do this now.

The dispatch from the Kremlin (Crew resources update) also mentioned SLC. This would seem to be a long-shot but for some reason the company seems hesitant to open domiciles in LAX. For example LAX will have three 777 departures this summer with no domicile - DTW has a 777 domicile with zero departures. There is talk of a LAX 777 micro-base, what is a micro-base?
