So that, potentially, rules out an Orlando base for us which is what I’ve heard from several folks. I don’t see is bringing back RJs.

Ooof good catch. Hadn’t had my morning coffee ha. Well, if that’s the case....Orlando wouldn’t be a bad place to set up. I’d go there 🤷‍♂️

This would be my guess. I also wonder if we would start taking over some of TSA’s 145 routes out of Denver.

As far as 840 a year the company is (so far) close to on track for that.

That doesn’t mean a base. That just means they are going to start flying RJ’s there. Most likely during the off peak month when the kids are in school.

CLE days were numbered after the merger. It’s a domicile but not a hub for UA. Not enough traffic to justify its existence
