We talked about virtual basing so we can build pairings out of smaller cities.
How is LAX any different than those other undesirable cities you’re referring to? If anything it’s worse.
The company isn’t going to open a domicile unless it makes business sense. It’s always been an airline that takes people from NY and Boston to Florida at it’s core. They’ll never open another base as a means to try an curb attrition. I’m not even sure that would even solve the attrition issues. Just head over to the Frontier or Spirit forums, who both have Midwest and Florida bases for that answer.
