No. Opening means opening a new category, never existed. Closing means closing and not reopening. If they closed and reopened the IAH Guppy base I'd completely agree. What they did to ORD was essentially a flush.
Technically all MOUs are "special deals". But the IAH guppy displacement isn't any different than any other displacement. Its not a base closure nor a base opening.
I guess we will see if the MEC agrees with you when this proposal comes to them to vote on.
