CLE? Not so much.
(FWIW, I'd love to see a bunch of smaller bases as I live in one that would be on the short list. Doesn't change the math unfortunately.)
Of course it is. My point was that GUM can handle the domicile with the appropriate level of reserves. As can CLE.
Satellite bases will also be able to handle appropriate levels of reserve coverage (IMHO)
