Maintenance is a poor source of rumors regarding crew/aircraft basing. So are flight attendants. For example, we routinely do EJet service checks on RON aircraft in OKC. Does that mean OKC is going to become an EJet pilot base? No way no how! Are pilots going to be based in Tucson? Nope. What is significant and important to maintenance often has nothing to do with pilot/crew basing.
FAs also keep spreading insane rumors, but we have to keep in mind they can be dual-qualled and contractually cross-utilized on CRJs & EJets (so can mechanics afaik). What they hear from their managers has zero to do with flight ops--zilch.
So basically, anything an FA or mechanic or MOC source has told you about where EJet pilots could be based is very likely confused extrapolation.
ughh once again just info passed on that's all. By the way Station managers are "somewhat" in the loop not saying they definitely know what's going on. They definitely knew CLT and Chicago were closing months before everyone else. The mechanics I don't know, but the rumblings they hear seem to support the station managers. Whether it happens or not who knows.
