I would probably be the oldest in my class if that helps towards selection.
It's literally anyone's guess. I've spoke with some people that think it's going to close in favor of IAH, and then I've spoke to other people who believe it's going to stay open.
I know that's probably not the answer you were looking for, but the only people that might actually know are upper management and there's been no official announcement regarding any base openings/closures.
In a memo dated Nov 30th, the company said that "At this time we do not have any base changes planned." So there's that, but that could change any minute.
