New Crew Base?

Any rumors about if and where a new crew base will be located later this year?

I have heard 4 rumors. In order of likelihood (IMHO): DAY, GSO, CAE, DEN. In order that would help recruiting: DEN, CAE, GSO, DAY.

My money is on DAY in October. No inside info though.

Where does the possibility of a GSO base come from seeing as we don't have a maintenance base there, or are plans being made for that?

I’m guessing DAY. Less than an hour from ORD to keep operations running at “excellence” levels.

Another outstation base that’s hard to commute in and out of with sh!t schedules .
That will definitely not help recruiting,especially with Psa already having a base there and have absorbed all of the local talent already.

It’s definitely going to be DAY. Unless it’s CAE. Although GSO is a strong possibility, right behind ATW. But DEN is also in the mix. Along with Colorado Springs. Announcement fifth quarter of this year.

New Domicile

You people are forgetting one ... a big one. ATW! The company just announced a big maintenance expansion there. To be completed before Christmas. And a new domicile before Christmas. Coincidence? There are a bunch of senior Captains that still live in the area when the HQ was a previous domicile. Plenty of space for a crew room. The can still feed ORD and DEN from there. There's some corporate pride when HQ is a base. They are really enjoying being a midwest company again.

I try not to feed rumor mills, but that's where I'm putting my money.
