I haven’t been to CLT in a while. I was in RDU recently and was surprised how many planes and flights. Seemed like we had the back corner pretty well secured?

Our CLT ops are solid imo. I believe I read an article that highlighted that AA was our main target now. I think they're probably the most fragile of the big 3..I think CLT would be a terrific move. Just not sure how much additional gate space we could obtain over time.

Noticed we now have access to 9 gates in SLC up from 2? I've been hearing that rumor a while now, but find the additional gates interesting. Have also been hearing PDX and SEA.

Where did you see that?

While I haven't heard of any SLC, SEA, or PDX base talk I could see SLC or SEA since I’ve used Denver style outdoor boarding with buses for the pax at each. There also isn’t a huge ULCC presence at either spot from what I’ve noticed.

??? I havent flown to SLC from the east coast in a while.... I would love to see a base there for people.

Aviobook update in the airport notes section. Updated in last couple weeks, I go in there a lot so was suprised to see it. We do have a lot of flying through there so it would probably make sense.

If you want to know where our next base will be, count the number of overnights at each station in the bid packets. I haven't done this but I would bet if you find the stations with the greatest overnights you'll find the next bases. Seems most of my overnights are in bases already so not in a hurry to see more stagnation that will come with a new base.

Were you doing a lot of CVG/CLE overnights before this year? Lol Idk if this is good way to tell.

Yes. ..............

Is that the public version?

I heard Barry and the airport were fighting over fees and Barry, uh, pulled out
