Just came back from Recurrent. The management speaker talked about new bases as well. I asked when we might see those announced and he thought they might actually be in the next system bid. Talked BDL, DCA, TPA, LAS and one in the midwest but I forgot now which one were being considered. He didn't know which bases or when they'd be announced but I was surprised he said that he expected them to be in the system bid this summer. TIFWIW

I would have to expect some of these bases are dependent on the Spirit transaction getting by. The summer bid seems a bit early for the company to start pulling the trigger on things based on that happening but announcing things for them to backfire is something that just happens around here more often than not.

Nope. Independent of the Spirit merger. I also thought it was early but the management guy was the new route structure guys so the source was a pretty good one. Now, it's always good to take anything said at these lunch chats. We'll see what comes out in the next few months. Or not. Lol.

Unless they want the judge to see national expansion. Just a thought, no idea if it's right.

Did they happen to say what they expect to operate type wise out these bases? I live pretty close to BDL and I start class soon so that would be a game changer for me and my quality of life.

I wouldn’t read hard into it man. As much as a BDL base would help me, i don’t see it happening. And we’re still spoiled being close to NYC and BOS. If BDL had their west coast flights still (only LAX remains), maybe, but during the slow season BDL can get very sparse, probably too sparse to support a base.

They didn't get that specific, no.
