You know what all of them have in common? When their base closes there's no reason for them to work here and they will knock the door down to get out. Because everyone knows you can't commute at this airline and all three legacies have rust belt bases.
Fear mongering the closure of bases .... has no basis in reality. The only base that is at a risk of closure might be in GA, and even that probably won't happen. The microbases are filling in just fine after 6 months or so, and the FA issue is likely more of a result of poor planning than a systemic issue... The only way microbases go away is with a merger at this point. If we merge, we go to multi day trips, and then commuting will be the same as any other airline.
