UltiPro has an active vacancy for A&P Mechanic for Phoenix. F9 Company employee, not contract.

Barry wouldn't spend the 5 cents on electrons to post that vacancy if PHX was closing

Also: Barry's arch rival enemy #1, American, opened a 737 base in PHX. PHX economy is strong (in light of the overall national economy). Both SWA and AA consider PHX a hub airport. Barry loves legacy hubs. Just LOVES them. He can throw that 00:30 and 05:30 departure on the board and scoop up "free" passengers that are not loyal to either brand, but to, uh, cost. I don't think Barry, ever (except for the Chicago situation back in ?? 2022, which reopened in ??? 2023) has ever "closed" a Pilot base in a Legacy hub city. I could be wrong.

Summary: My opinion is PHX is not going anyway, Pilot base-wise

Barry hack:

Before earnings, before the Facebook wife club, before most of that, early indicators are on UltiPro. If you see "Station Manager Vacancy - XXX-not-officially-a-base-yet Airport" listed, then the logical conclusion is you have a new base in the works. Same for "Maintenance Supervisor" etc. If they are filling management jobs at a "new" airport, for no apparent reason, that is called a clue. UltiPro can be configured to send you email alerts to your company email.
