So pin 📌 the thread here and come back in 5 years. We will be negotiating the contract that replaces our next PWA. What should we discuss in the interim?

It didn’t take the bloggers / AI bots very long to regurgitate Rip’s posts.

Pilot base announcement at the end of October (2030). At which time the official announcement will be: “We have no plans to open any new pilot bases, however we will continue to evaluate pilot staffing requirements as needed.”

And just like that hopes of a 320 base died.

I think this means AUS 320 and 73N! The Nov. route was called and fell into place. AUS 320 come October

Lol. There’s a 90% chance that we hear nothing at all in October, and a 10% chance that they announce “no new bases are planned”.

The good news is there’s a 100% chance that we’re reminded to commute accordingly, and thanked for all that we do.

In a very D fashion…they will probably announce BOS A220

. And SLc will be waiting for WB forever.

I want to believe in a Delta base in Austin being announced in October, but with DL’s aversion to opening new pilot bases I don’t see how they will plan to open a pilot base with ~*checks notes*~ 21 departures on the 320/321 fleet tomorrow. The 73n has 9 departures and the 220 has 8. If all of those were on the 320 along with the new additions (CUN, PSP, MIA, SDJ, whatever else they added) the maybe it’s a possibility, but with 21 departures I don’t see it happening. Maybe they want the schedule reliability or they have more gates they picked up and have a few more announcements, but I am not getting my hopes up. It’s fun to dream though.
