So now---they'll be making even more money. Figure they'll hire two new domicile mgrs, two crew rooms, most likely won't have to displace anyone, they'll still make out like bandits in this deal.
Its the RAH style of crew base planning. Find the city with the greatest number of hotel rooms for the last 6 months and make it a crew base. Review on a yearly basis.
