Etc, etc. Any way to roughly predict the future look of bases - outside of PHX and MCO which would seem to be perpetually senior as the old folks prep for their life post-SWA.
I don't think it will. I would guess MCO both seats, top 30% average age 60. So do think that in 10 years, with all the geezers gone, it will become that much easier to be senior in MCO, or will a whole new flock of grey guys winterbird to MCO, and take those top spots?
