Would like to see a full BOS, MCO (or south Florida) and DFW(or AUS) base.

Any place they want to make a base...great. No virtual bases though. I am a commuter and am totally against this. Reading through the CR update you can see how it will benefit only a small number while totally screwing up the trip mix for others.

Their update sounded like a plea for concessions.

As DeRosa, Malone and Martin used to say:

Virtual basing bad!

And then....

The good news was that it is relatively toothless in its current form. As has been said, kill it given the opportunity.

Ummmm......I ain't a smart guy by any stretch but WTF did I miss over the last few years vis-á-vis, EWR???

Per the CR Newletter:

"A virtual base cannot be established in an existing crew base."

"Cities highlighted in green would present the best scenarios for a virtual base test"

EWR is highlighted in green.

Idiots.....unreal.

I think we've already given them enough of a life line by letting it extend past 1 year of the signing of the contract. If it won't work in its current form then kill it. Actually, just kill it anyway.
