I understand this. These bases are also much larger, therefore, making far more sense. I’ve been based in bigger huh bases, at other airlines, that never overnighted outside crews.
Again, they seem to care about saving money here. Eliminating outside crew overnights, at a ridiculously/insanely small domicile, that could easily be covered by all ACY based guys, would be a start.
The moral of the story (for everyone that asks) is ACY can close and be served, by outside crews overnighting, with ZERO issues. Who knows if/what BWI would do to ACY. For whatever reason powers at be seem to love it so I would not be shocked at all if it never closes.
