I'd love a SEA base too!!!
MCO is like 10+ years (right now) to hold Captain. There’s no staffing issue for Orlando. The biggest FO issue, in my opinion, is figuring out where the G line will sit on any given month, and if/when Tampa opens, how does that change the dynamics of Captain vacancies and trip quality.
Vegas, though…everyone I talk to comments on how bizarre of a choice that is for a new base.
