What does that even mean? If you transpose that to the pilots, I would guaran-damn-tee you that they would get 125 to open MCO (again). Does that mean they would have to commit? Express interest in a poll of some sort? They could open a base pretty much anywhere, and I would bet they would get 125 FAs to bite off on it. (Or whatever the number is... and 125 seems awfully low for anything worthwhile.) With almost 30,000 FAs, if all they wanted was 125 they could probably open 150 satellite bases.
