CVG/CLE next base?
Everyone I fly with now has been saying the same thing... they hear CVG/CLE being thrown around as the next base, leaning towards CVG... just heard from a recent upgrade a director of something pretty much confirmed thats what they were looking at. An FA told me they heard from good authority that CVG will be announced in 2-3 months, but not sure how much I trust that source.
Seems like the general consensus here is CVG because the cost of winter weather in CLE would be rather expensive, but we don't seem to have as much CVG flying.. although it flip flops seasonally?
Anyone know what the wives and other sources are saying?

I'll say that after a CVG/CLE and or some sort of Chicago base, I'm not sure what would be next. That would be 10 or 11 bases, and *gasp* they might actually have to grow bases.

Actually in all seriousness if we are hitting Puerto Rico as hard as we are and have a maintenance base there it’s probably a much cheaper way to head to South America and many of the Caribbean islands than gate space at Miami. Well until a hurricane destroys it…It wouldn’t be easy to staff but it could be a small base.

FWIW BB came to our new hire class in the first few days and said they are looking heavily into CVG but it wasn't written in stone yet.

According to a quick internet search, the economy is much stronger in Cincinnati. I would also believe that Cleveland and Cincinnati offer huge potential for market share.
The weather in Cleveland could pose to be challenging and expensive at times. I would guess Cincinnati would be the winner. 🤷🏼♂️
