As a RW pilot, I'll chime in. The "HotMama" is mostly right. IND was slated to be closed for RW from Day 1, but it hasn't happened. All that means is the Boss has a reason. These guys don't waste long-run money. The 175s WON'T fly into/out of DCA since the slots are only for 76 seats. There will be 175s coming on to the property. Those are the only 175 FACTS available. No one knows where the planes are going (I don't think LCC knows yet.). I've heard several rumors from people that sign checks, but they aren't 100% about it. We will know about Jan 12th (when the FEB bids come out). For now, though, our 5 departures per day out of IND base will remain open.

FWIW, the RW bids are going more senior each posting.

Hopefully, our next contract will fix our basing structure....
