NY does not have enough departures and is not even in he top 15 stations. With the unfortunate fall of Spirit, my money is on another central US base and possibly another east coast base, but not NY. Just my 2 cents, but I could be totally wrong.

between JFK,EWR, and LGA on peak days we have like 40+ departures a day… it will be a co domicile if we acquire and slots from NK.

LAX because that is where the people are
LGA (only) because if NK bows out likely we would be first in line for the terminal they set up. That's what my money is on. CLE Started great... last few times I was in there It was falling apart and poorly run (par for F9) I 100% believe it's a top MX base that area of the country has exceptional mechanics, Always has. A strong MX base is enough reason to hold onto CLE. Again that's what my money is on |

100%! Every time I have had a MX issue CLE has been a rockstar station since we opened it as a MX base.
also talked to ops manager in IAH. He says 30+ departures next year and BB has secured 3 or 4 ground loading gates that will come in the the future. I think we move back to A concourse next year though before we transition to ground loading gates…. im just the messenger, but they sounded very confident that was the plan. Possibly could see that become one later on. just to clarify, we don’t need any more bases on in my opinion. It just ruins seniority progression. |

I will say this until blue in the face, no California bases will be opened. Everything can be served via LAS and PHX.
Plus, asking Barry to pay competitive local wages in California markets is like asking to have jet bridge drivers actually show up when you taxi in at MCO |
