I was here and pulled our old seniority lists. PHX was at 50 CAs and 39 FOs in June 2023 and was a product of Mesa getting removed and remember them all of a sudden adding all that flying. I think we have so much flying already in and out of DCA and CLT that it wouldn’t take much for them to take the trips that go through there out of our other bases lines and shift that flying. Our pilot group is also almost 500 pilots larger than 3 years ago and taking 10-30 pilots from each base wouldn’t be a big deal if that flying gets shifted. Just my guesstimating and me being optimistic for our northeast/east coast commuters.
