PHL base?
 

I'm hearing some legit rumblings about a PHL base soon. Thoughts?

To me, it's no surprise at all, we need more east coast reserve support, bad.

It’ll probably happen. But more for the affect of recruiting the bottom denominator to help recruiting than operational need. Get ready for 50 crews to be displaced from DEN because hiring and upgrades sure aren’t going to staff it.

Let’s start this by saying this is my opinion. Is it gonna be a co-base 50 miles apart? We need reserves everywhere. Gonna fill a new base? Wow? How? BC THE DING DONGS IN CHARGE READ THIS I MUST SAY HI FIRST.... THEN... who’s coming here? 14 out of the 36 you wanted the last few months? Ps your already behind, it will only get worse. Do you think current pilots will help you out of this jam after you have continuously **** on them? Afraid not. Good luck getting a helping hand from this group after the horrific circumstances you have put us in. At this point, any problems the airline has will need to be fixed by the airline. The pilots are done period. Good luck

I fixed it for you. All the growth has been in MCO over the last 6 months. I think they’re building it big in order to displace from it.

According to the training dept, PHL will be the new base. Take that for what it’s worth but they said it was confirmed by Ben and Shawn.

The MCO birds will all be yellow 🍌.......

If they want to pick a base that would help recruiting they should go with Austin. Every Airline that has a Texas base it’s alway senior.

100% agree I have several friends at regionals who would be willing to “suffer through” at F9 if they would have gone with the AUS base.

If you get involuntary displaced , can we go back to FO to avoid commuting? Commuting to PHL is not an option for some of us.

Picking a base that would go senior won’t help recruiting. Picking a base in the densest population center in the US however...

Well then THANK GOD they didn’t pick AUS. Don’t need anybody giving themselves a lame @$$ excuse to come here right now.

.......Yes

Sweet an AWESOME new hire base. They probably should add that to the recruiting videos. :D

Phl base
 

Did the company put out a notice?

Check comply

So basically....all new hires can expect PHL now? This should really help on the hiring front...NOT!

FIFY. This will have people lining up out the door to come here.

They announced philly with no info on opening date or size. It’s just a move to up the hiring numbers without having to give up a contract. This isn’t good news.

I live in PHL.
More money, I’ll apply.
Until then I need things like food and shelter.

Don’t let the future street captain offer suck you in. Ha ha

I’ll have to change my screen name to senior FO after the involuntary displacement........

You can't afford it, remember? :);):D

Haha Burn.......

I was thinking the same thing, you can only say that you need 150k so many times :D

Looks like you will be going back to that construction gig making 200k. Ha! :p

I’m guessing more of their shell and ball tricks.
Open a new base and displace people out of MCO to staff it and call it growth.
Gimme a break
Get ready for it.. MCO reserve for FOs is getting ready to hit the 2 year mark. It’s all over but the cryin

Well heck. ......
As a senior FO I can pick up plenty of open time like all the other backstabbers! !!!!

There are nearly 50 new reserve fo’s In den from the last 4 months. Nearly All the new hires have been put in den. They’re also not flying. Looks like they’ve built den up a bit, getting ready for something which now I think the something is this new Phl base.
Who knows. But why all the extra bodies and no work for them.

They've already got PHL in the system bid in FLICA.

But you won't cuz that ain't you. <--(compliment)

And they removed las fo

And cancelling vacations on top of it...

I don't think it shows your current position under vacancy or voluntary.

Makes sense. Moving to las in nov and hadn’t noticed it gone.

Awwwww BUSTED!;)

Vacancy is out for PHL. Starting with 24 crews. Looks like DEN went unscathed this time. They are pulling from all the other bases, with MCO losing the most flying.

About three-fifths of their “growth” in PHL is being staffed by displacements from other bases. Every time this place “grows” it comes a price to the quality of life in other bases (what little there is left). Every existing base in the system gets their hard lines cut down and the trips in the new base are always awful. Remember the first couple months in Vegas? Those first months make the current crap trips/lines look average.

The big news here is STILL only 10 net upgrades. This is not the growth you are looking for...

I think all the hype from the company about growth is smoke and mirrors just as much as the next guy, but is this a case of, if they cant hire, they cant upgrade? Honest question, I dont regularly run numbers on this kinda stuff.
