Except the new generation of ERJ and and new MRJ are going to be as efficient as the airbus... not to mention with our new rates regionals pay roughly 60-70% less.

Not when your paying someone else to fly them for you.
If that’s what they wanted it would’ve been done by now. Not after ordering 460 acft.

I agree. ULCC with a regional feed? I don’t think so.

RDU=ain’t gonna happen with Phl opening.
Had a dispatcher in the jumpseat a few days ago. He said they are planning on a south central base (aus or sat)
We have tons of flights in the region that need coverage from a domicile.

I'd think Austin would be a stretch. Aren't we moving to the south ramp where Allegiant parks?

That's temporary until the new gates are finished in the spring.

Ok, that makes sense. An employee there said it was until the new terminal on the south side was finished (years). But who knows.

He said possibly for flight attendants.
It’s only a 1 hour drive time between the two airports.
I can also attest that the move to the south terminal is temporary until construction is completed Q1 of 2019 in the main terminal.
