They are looking at 7’s... I would put it at unlikely. I think it makes a lot of sense but I also think SFO should remain open as a Boeing base. Hopefully, the order comes out with 7,8,9, and 10’s. I hear it’s 40 firm new, plus the old 37 order, plus 88 options 😂. Good news, we are hoping to take every option. Numbers right now I heard are 37 8’s, 40 9’s. All the options are 9’s, convertible to 10’s.

I’m one of the the cross bidders, Boeing to Bus. Held out on the first few bids as SD and others were saying 737 Bay Area base soon....well That didn’t happen. I’m assuming it was a co-term issue but fingers are crossed we can keep SFO as a 737 base.

If Alaska does their usual, turn tail and run, routine then Southwest is going to chase us out of the Bay Area to Hawaii markets and that will probably be the end of a long term SFO base. Let’s see if we try to put up a fight in Oakland.

They gave writing on the wall for the SFO base. The only saving grace could be a co-domicile potential, where pilots cover all three SFO, OAK, and SJC. If that doesn’t happen there’s just too many different fleets going into those 3 airports.

There was already a negotiation that failed surrounding a Co-Terminal agreement for the bay area. Our position was to tighten up Co-Terminal language and their’s was to gut it as if it was a gift. So there is that.

No concessions! I am not interested in subsidizing a MAX order and management stock options. Order planes or don’t order planes, I am not interested in subsidizing growth that may or may not happen. Just remember every MAX they take could result in a return of a NG. If they think they have to furlough to survive, furlough. Our company is solid, we will weather this storm, management has stolen enough from our careers!

The most likely thing to happen will be AG buying a lot more 175s for Horizon...

I would not mix metaphors. E175 or bust. Keep aircraft maintenance and parts simple.
