Default SJU base

Sounds like SJU will become a base from rumors coming out of the emerald palace. Do we have a significant number of SJU commuters or people wanting to move for island life?

They just sent all the hiring pool folks a video where they hinted at a more 'I'll call it an exotic base' - gotta be SJN. I for one would give up my left nut to move there. Lol. There or Miami. I'll bite the bullet for all.

BB was in Puerto Rico being whined and dined at the Governor's mansion, along with their Tourism Secretary or whatever the title was. Last month

We probably know by now, "never say never" is Frontier's motto when opening and closing stuff

I cannot even imagine the category 5 poop-storm when they shrink a base(s) and people get displaced to Puerto Rico. That should teach people not to want an upgrade.

FAs live there... pilots? maybe a couple.

I would rather see ONT or another west coast base. even LGA over SJU.

I could see it as a FA base. I'd be very surprised to see it as a pilot base.

On the other side of the coin though, SJU might not be all that crazy. I’m sure there are plenty of locals in SJU flying for Silver, Cape Air, and whatever company is flying those BN-2 Islanders who would love to fly an Airbus for more money, but also love living in base and being home every night. There might actually be enough of them to staff a small F9 base.

And we’ve been hiring quite a few pilots in their early 20’s who would jump at an early upgrade and hang on the island for a few years. I would if I was still single in my 20s.
