With the STL cuts last month and plus from what I have heard there hasn’t been any base talk there the last year or so, I can’t see them being the next one. Maybe when they build the new terminal
The network cuts they did really didn’t change the RON situation. STL has a lot of airplanes that terminate/originate everyday. These are the RON’s in each city with the current schedule without a crew base. It can be found on swalife.
- STL 13-16
- AUS 15-18
- MCI 15-16
- SAN 15-16
- SMF 15-19
- TPA 15-18
For some added discussion, ATL is only 11. ATL has a full mx base with a hanger. A lot of broke airplanes come to ATL because of parts inventory. Rumor is the lease is up in 2026.
