I don’t see why this is even a question when their second biggest base is woefully understaffed and their newest base isn’t even close to staffed... and don’t forget, they decided not to upgrade anyone on the last adjustment...

Long term, as in the next few years, not now.

It seems like a completely logical base a few years down the road. As long as the market continues to respond well.
It’s not hard to see we are just modeling ourselves like Sprirts base structure, look where they have their bases and where our focus cities are in comparison. Multiple smaller bases is defiantly the future for us.
Plus with 150 or so airplanes in the next 8 years they will have to put them somewhere.

It’s an easier rumor to spread (I’m not one spreading it) when the CP is saying Austin is one location being considered as a base.

I recently had the station manager from SFO on a flight that said CVG is going to be the next base. She was actually flying back out west from CVG. I didn’t get a timeline from her. She said AUS is a strong possibility after CVG is established.

It seems like CVG, CLE, PHL and AUS could all be in the running. I've always thought PHL was the most likely candidate. It feels like we're a little less active in CVG and CLE as of late.

I was told by the DO in initial ground school that pilot bases are a function of having planes on the ground so mx can do inspections. 8 hours of down time. If the schedules don't provide that, it'll never be a base.
So if you start to see the schedules spread apart with airplanes sitting at gates overnight, it's logical to assume the company is trying to see if a base is feasible.
He also said that the pilots will be the last to know.
