TUS: Mx Base
UAL - DEN, SFO, LAX
DAL - SLC
FAT: Mx Base
UAL - SFO, LAX, DEN, LAS
DAL - SLC
PSP: Mx Base
UAL - LAX, SFO, DEN, LAS
DAL - SLC
SBA:
UAL - LAX, SFO, DEN, SJC
DAL - SLC
SMF:
UAL - LAX, SFO, DEN
DAL - SLC
COS: Mx Base
UAL - LAX, SFO, DEN, ORD
DAL - SLC, ATL
Without pilot domiciles in these outstations our cost would be much higher due to the large number of RON crews.
As for other DAL domiciles that you fly into
..is your flying there guaranteed by your contract? I know ASA has such wording for ATL but Im not sure about CVG, JFK or MCO. If there isn't a contract in place then a pilot domicile makes no long tern sense seeing things can change without breach of contract.
ASA has tossed around outstation mini bases over the years but has never pulled the trigger. The top contender is BTR since it's a maintenance base with a lot of overnight flights. CAE is another one I've heard (mx base).
However, these rumors involve new hub flying with a hub base for a different airline (not Delta or UAL).
