He said, "most definitely, FLL is their next big project". Of course, I take that with a grain of salt and there's no guarantee it will be a crew base, but I feel with the growth planned for South/Central America we should see some growth in MCO if not another base like FLL which should help FL guys like us. Best of luck with your decision!

I would also bet on another crew base opening in the next year or so and FLL and Tampa are both ripe for that scenario. Both have tons of overnights and already have maintenance there. It would also relieve a lot of the pressure on the seniority in MCO and ATL.
