yes but the 90s are there also and the 320s have better performance than the them. the 737s and 90s are there now so how does it effect the 737s if the 90s were moved and replaced with bus's?

Why are the 88-FO ALV's so high? Dec 82 Jan 82. Are they that short??

i commute to MEM and as it stands now i would rather stay in MEM then switch to ATL. The commute is easy and same time zone makes it easier for me. I wish there still was a DFW base though because i wouldnt mind moving there and staying in Texas.

Maybe SWA will buy us. I think that if DFW is your home you are destined to commute the rest of your life

The 320 can't make it coast to coast reliably in the winter going westbound.

Airbus is working on a software fix* to improve MTOW to fix this but in the meantime the A320 in SLC makes more sense with the 73N on the coasts...

I'd imagine all flavors of the maddog to be concentrated east.

This is all pure speculation

It involves a load alleviation logic that reduces wing loads automatically by affecting the ailerons and spoilers similar to the -700.

If I had to rank the locations best to worst, I would put them in this order.

CVG, MSP, NYC, ATL, ANC, MEM, DTW, SEA, SLC, LAX

I'll bet a thousand bucks that SEA will always be the most senior base and NYC will always be the junior base.

Are you forgetting Detroit "Land of 10,000 crack houses, home of eight mile boy himself M&M" Michigan? Turdhole doesn't even do it justice. I flew freight out of DTW years ago and it was lousy then and that was with good employment by the big three.

I'll see your thousand and raise you??

If East includes MSP and DTW you are correct.
