If a new base is cost-effective (or more accurately they BELIEVE it will be), they’ll open it in a heartbeat. Ain’t no pilot antagonist trying to punish pilots, as much as management does indeed despise our membership.
Disagree, the past four years taught me they will go out of their way to push pilots around, even lose money in the process. The big fake displacement that abrogated seniority for thousands, UNA, whats a sill, MD before VEOP, pre-signing extensions at the gate on the first leg, flying empty redeyes around the system for a year, no coffee on board due to covid; that's just naming a few. They are clutching to a leadership style (fear and intimidation) that worked for one generation and is failing miserably with X, Y and Z. Why else do you think we have an additional 1000 pilots, yet we cannot even fly 2019 block hours? NPS is in the toilet. Lastly, our competitors have opened bases in quite a few places where we were the dominant carrier, so it ain't economics- at least not RASM economics.
