My flight attendants today were all talking about growth. It was a waste of time to explain to them this is just a transfer of assets. The new bases are going to rob productive trips from the Florida bases. Making them smaller and less productive. This is not really good unless you live in one of the new bases or want to.
Those of you north of PIE or TPA have fun driving to SRQ in rush hour. Apparently FAs get a real base there.

But it’s not really true growth for us. Not without the hiring of pilots. 24 new crew positions will have to be filled from somewhere. So that means siphoning off from other bases. This is a lot like the “growth” we experienced when they converted the 80s from 150 to 166 seats. On paper we were growing, but for us it was stagnant.

It is what it is. If you are under 40 you should be considering a move anyway regardless. This place isn't going to be United Airlines in any of our lifetimes, I hope you are not waiting for that.

BLV is actually the most logical choice, but hopefully the fact that nobody wants to be there combined with the high tax environment scares them off... BNA would be a great base but we've only been going there for about a year now and it's gaining a ton of competition from the other ULCCs.
Of the 17 new planes this year, 4 go to GRR/SAV, 3 will be flexed to MYR/VPS and then who knows where during the winter... that still leaves 10 more to be allocated. Hopefully the west coast will get something!
