in 2015 UA closed their pilot base at SEA. Not too sure how long it had been open but they once flew DC-3s out of there.


Back in the 60s I believe it was the most senior domicile UA had. But after absorbing Northwest, Delta sort of ran them out. A lot of very senior people found themselves commuting to SFO.

There are no guaranteed safe bases. In the course of a career, becoming a commuter sometime is damn near inevitable.
