My guess is they will unless they can bid out (even then they’d be coming in Jr and back near the bottom in a new base) Just my hunch, but my guess is that the new bases being opened is to relieve some of the stress off the coastal bases where they can’t fill seats. Like MCO for EWR relief and LAS for West coast relief. They won’t go junior so those Jr CAs will still be junior and stuck for a while. If I was on the fence I’d personally at least wait until we know more about the possible new bases. They didn’t even bother wasting their time offering NC CA slots on the coasts in the current vacancy.
