Yes. We have terrible bases.

Problem with a lot of stations such as BOS, FL, MIA is there is such a mix of types. Go to MIA and it’s a few 737s, a 321 and a 757. Network would have to commit to one major type there, and I think they like the flexibility.

Expect BOS to open around the same time as the “large WB bid” I keep hearing about

Just depends on where you're from. To me, UAL and AAL have terrible bases.

I think we have great bases, two in the “Midwest” with relatively decent costs of living. Seattle which has been booming since we opened it. Atlanta another city with major growth, plus proximity to Florida. United has nothing in or near Florida, plus more high CoL east coast (NYC and DC) as well as two high CoL west coast (SFO, LAX).

Too bad you missed BOS, DFW, IAH, MIA, MSY, ORD, PDX.

My CPO mole shared that the first BOS Chief has been identified and is currently shadowing the NYC CPO to learn the ropes.

I hope if that is true, it’s the new NYC CPO, and wasn’t the disaster of the last one.

I’m hoping it’s not soon bc BOS is a great layover and lots of that will go away with a base. From a seniority standpoint though it would be good to have the New Englanders leave NYC.
