So what do you guys think about a West coast 717 base? If it is to support a LAX-SFO-SEA type of shuttle then LAX or SEA would seem logical.
If this is the case I would think LAX would get it because it is already providing the Gates for the Compass flights that do this now.
The dispatch from the Kremlin (Crew resources update) also mentioned SLC. This would seem to be a long-shot but for some reason the company seems hesitant to open domiciles in LAX. For example LAX will have three 777 departures this summer with no domicile - DTW has a 777 domicile with zero departures.
There is talk of a LAX 777 micro-base, what is a micro-base?

There's no doubt in my mind that you are consistently used by DALPA officials and airline management contacts as a tool to float trial balloons and be a web board distribution tool for their positions. No doubt. But I don't recall saying you've been paid to do so. Since you claim I've made many posts saying you've been paid, and since you have a database of every post I've made, show me three posts where I've said you have been paid to post.

Also, LAX would seem like a much better choice for a short haul aircraft with access to LAS, SFO, OAK, SJC, PHX, TUS, ABQ, SAN, DEN, SMF, SEA, PDX etc. RJs are already on many of the routes and they take the same gate space.
Plus, LA is a much bigger market.
Flyallnite was all over that. Hope he's right.

Since they are going to use the 717 on the LAX-SFO shuttle, LAX would seem like the no-brainer choice for a base to me. You need ready access to reserves for that operation and like you said, the airplanes would just use the gates the RJs they replace are using.

They have most of the B concourse used by RJ's now that the 717 could use if they shuffled the RJ's back over to E. They also have enough throughput at the airport to add at least another entire bank of arrivals and departures.
I don't get how that solves gate space issues though. Doesn't matter where we put the base, we would still use the same amount of gates in LAX and SEA. Not sure I believe the rumor, but there must be something to it if CR is saying SLC is in the running. (Lots of CR9 flying and 319 flying in SLC that the 717 could be doing).
