I'm hoping that someone asks crew resources (or whatever their title is) that exact question during this upcoming round of base visits. The accelerated retirement of the -9 is known and when that is gone, that only leaves the little bus in MEM. So, will they keep the base open for only one small category or will they throw an 88/90 base in there to replace the capacity flown by the MEM DC9 pilot jobs? I think it to be a perfectly fair question to be asking.

I'm hoping for a MEM88 base too.
