I agree, but with all the SFO cuts and SFO already being a 200+ pilot base in each seat, a reduction is probably coming if they open a SAN base.
But you are correct. Let’s wait and see what that SAN bid looks like.
Only thing I don’t understand is the talk about SAN post SLI. If they want to open/close a base, it is far cheaper to do it before the SLI effective date. They closed NYC one month before the SLI effective date.
