Again, just gospel but apparently it came from someone high in mgmt.
I have been hearing the LAS base rumor for last couple months also. LAS has lots of flights with more to come and gates are easy to come by in D concourse. This is what my psychic has come up with. By this time next year 1000-1200 pilots on property. 400 - 450 in Denver : 200 in ORD : 200 in MCO and 200 in LAS. (adjust other bases to reach 1200) We will then have a base in each time zone.
