I have never given much credence to these rumors. If I had a dollar for every time I heard this rumor I’d be on my private island spanking my wife for being the naughty girl she is instead of perusing a pilot website.
But whatever has (or has not), happened there seems to be more to the rumor this time. We’ve already been told that there will probably be some base announcements by the end of the month in addition to the official announcement of a TYS virtual base.
If this is true then there will be some losers as well. UAL is scoped out so it will be a reshuffling if flying not new flying. If so, some pilots who chased the quick upgrade may be sorely disappointed.
Nothing to lose by hanging out here a little longer.
