United wants to expand and loves international so any chance they make MCO an international gateway? American has MIA and Delta has ATL, United has nothing on the SE. Yes, I'm interested in wide-body flying.
MCO/TPA is not a hub for United, just a 737 pilot base. There are currently no plans to make it more than that. If you want to stay in FL AND never commute AND fly widebodies, MIA is the much surer bet.
