The company says they want a mid continent 777 base in ORD or DEN and a 737 base in Florida… and they want it fully operated by summer of 23.

UAL had a plan for a TPA/MCO base 5-6 years ago but the UAL ALPA leadership pushed back against it because of the fear that opening of a FL base would take flying/bodies away from EWR which was deemed critical for votes in the National elections.
