Since we're talking about it, has Miami significantly shrunk? I've noticed only 48 FO's. was that more than this point last year? Is a base closure imminent or are they going to ramp up some good Columbia flights in the near future?

Miami definitely shrank. Mostly last summer I think. No one seems to know what's going to happen with it, but to me a dual MIA/FLL base makes a lot of sense. Launch central American flights or of MIA and run a bunch of domestic out of FLL. Seems too much potential to close it

I dont think its gonna close, but it is definitely a seasonal base it seems like. I am sure they shrunk it because they want the crews in PHX and LAS for when DFW opens so they can displace to there if they need to.

At the time Miami was our most junior base and somebody correct me if I am wrong but wasn’t half the base Reserve?

It costs money to displace pilots so I don’t think that is ever the intended plan. It probably more like they see they can make more money faster with those pilots in another location so they make the shift. Just like how we open a close routes quickly if they can make more money somewhere else.

That’s what I figured. So they shouldnt have even been there in the first place unless they had plans to ramp up that never panned out. Should have been a more evenly spread around the network.

For the folks saying your worst day at F9 was still better than your best day at a regional, can you expand on that? What exactly is different that makes it so much better? Honest question, only know regional life here...
