They just announced effective April 1 Seattle is now a base for pilots and flight attendants.

Also, they announced they are going to try to get everyone home everyday and to avoid any overnights if possible to save hotel and travel cost.

Great if you live in base but very difficult if you do not. There are pilots commuting between SNA and BUR because SNA is so senior. If you live in SNA but are BUR based and you end in BUR everyday then you are going to be either driving 2-4 hours a day to home, paying for a hotel in BUR or getting a crash pad. Most pilots that have to commute want to avoid base as not to have to pay for a hotel but looks like they may need a second home.
