There is some precedent with satellite/codomicile whatever you want to call it in NY and LA- ie you cover LGA/EWR/JFK depending on fleet, LA you cover a few in the area. I’m guessing it’ll be a codomicile simply because they’re close, and we have a medium sized presence in both, so why not cover them all? You’ll always end the trip in the same base you started from and you get “crosstown pay” for the satellite airport.
Got it, so I see all this talk about senior time for wide body upgrades. How long would we be talking for upgrading on a wide body then? If you were to compare to say Denver? If it goes senior, what’s a worse case scenario time wise? Probably a dumb question, but I’m curious to see how long it would take to wait it out in the right seat.
So if it’s a wide body or a NB base though, from what I gather either way it’s likely you could snag a spot in MCO, driving in.
