Stated that GUM is on ice for at least 12 months. I see that timeline as telling, but I will not go there.
I know they have looked at another base, or two, but all of the stuff I am hearing is movement of jets. MSP 88 is to grow, CVG ER half to full pulldown which will coincide with a SEA ER base. Marking needs to commit to the 330 time in ATL. If they do then we will see a 330 base ere. I assume the pulldown will be from DTW, but that is just a guess. Overall they are stating it will be a positive AE. Less than 100 reinstatement is the figure they have been quoting publicly.
I would bet the AE will be here the first week of May, but to be safe say the first two week for some last minute tweaking. Next AE after that is an AUG AE for winter training.
