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?

Any chance there was a typo on the update and it was meant to say that they expect to make a decision by the end of this year regarding if/where there might be a west coast base? Having a west coast base by the end of 2015 seems to contradict what is mentioned earlier in the same paragraph.
Am I reading it wrong?
