%100. Plus I first hand spoke with the phoenix base chief and the director of training both claiming they want to grow phoenix. Guess we'll see. I personally think this is a ridiculous rumor but I don't know anything more than any other pilot, which is to say, I don't have a clue.

UltiPro has an active vacancy for A&P Mechanic for Phoenix. F9 Company employee, not contract.

Barry wouldn't spend the 5 cents on electrons to post that vacancy if PHX was closing

Also: Barry's arch rival enemy #1, American, opened a 737 base in PHX. PHX economy is strong (in light of the overall national economy). Both SWA and AA consider PHX a hub airport. Barry loves legacy hubs. Just LOVES them. He can throw that 00:30 and 05:30 departure on the board and scoop up "free" passengers that are not loyal to either brand, but to, uh, cost. I don't think Barry, ever (except for the Chicago situation back in ?? 2022, which reopened in ??? 2023) has ever "closed" a Pilot base in a Legacy hub city. I could be wrong.

Summary: My opinion is PHX is not going anyway, Pilot base-wise

Barry hack:

Before earnings, before the Facebook wife club, before most of that, early indicators are on UltiPro. If you see "Station Manager Vacancy - XXX-not-officially-a-base-yet Airport" listed, then the logical conclusion is you have a new base in the works. Same for "Maintenance Supervisor" etc. If they are filling management jobs at a "new" airport, for no apparent reason, that is called a clue. UltiPro can be configured to send you email alerts to your company email.

Only way I see PHX closing is if we went back to having less bases and more trips. Which I don't see happening. I think we see a new base before we see PHX or any other base close. Gotta park these 17 (2025 remaining deliveries) new planes somewhere.

Y’all are being trolled by a troll who's playing a game of phone tag with other trolls.

yah no way PHX closes. It’s a great market for us and a key domicile for connecting traffic through to the west coast.
