In his video covering the NB portion of the AE on SkyHub BS stated they held off some 220 positions from this bid to be added at a later date because depending on Network final deployment of the 220 it might warrant opening a 3rd base

So that means a new base on the next bid.

Do we know yet if the long term plans are for the A220-300 to take over A319 flying and park the 319s?

Rumor for debunking or confirmation: C Series has a silly crosswind limit (maybe 5 knots?) above a certain pressure altitude (4000?) which renders SLC a rather challenging operational environment?

That’s the limitation for a Max Performance Takeoff above airport elevations above 4000’.
So says their limitations document.

Answered back on page 219/220. Keep up

If you would have read further, you would have seen the limit of 30 Kts xwind for a "restricted takeoff": Vol 1 SP 7.4:

Restricted Takeoff Procedure
Note: A restricted takeoffs is required when the normal takeoff wind
limitations are exceeded.

A restricted takeoff is the same as a normal takeoff except:
• After allowing the engines to stabilize at 50% N1:
• Observe a minimum of GS 20 under the PFD speed tape
prior to advancing thrust levers through 60% N1.

This is our normal takeoff procedure...

Edit - Apologies CLAMP - I see Planetrain already answered this...

Sounds like a 5 leg 2-day trip from SLC to me. SLC-SFO-SEA-LAX layover LAX-AUS-SLC or some other variant thereof. We wouldn't need a base in LAX or SEA to cover the expanded service.

BS answered this two days ago on SkyHub: "at this time the thought process is still SEA or LAX, big caution though that is subject to change. We’ll have more of an update during the summer or fall."
