DCA new pilot base!
 
... what are the chances the DCA base rumors became reality?

Damn, we really are digging up all the old rumors! SJC base next??? ;)

You probably ****ed off several DC commuters by using an exclamation point instead of a question mark there.

Ya think. :)

Maybe maybe if the 220 goes there but until that not happening.

FLL E190 will happen before DCA. And that rumor has picked up some steam lately.

Question is, where does the flying come from? Move MCO? Shrink JFK to MCO size?

This wasn’t announced on April 10th...?

Do you guys think it will be junior? Is it 320 or 190 as well?

I’m stoked...this open up JFK a bit.

That's the $1,000,000 question. I'm hopeful that if this comes true, they shrink JFK and expand FLL. But knowing my luck, it will come at the expense of MCO. lol

As a junior JFK captain who lives local with dreams of escaping NY for MCO, I hope they cut BOS and leave JFK and MCO alone!

That’s the dopiest statement I’ve seen on APC for awhile. Congrats.

Thanks, I take that as a badge of honor!

He said he wanted JFK cut but likely MCO would and he doesn't want that (I'm guessing he lives there). I live in NY and want to move to MCO eventually... so why would I want those bases cut?

In either event, whatever I want doesn't matter more than a hill of beans. BOS isnt getting cut because they want to grow to BOS200.

It's just my pipe dream so I don't have to change planes or bases just yet.

Sorry you don't approve.

They say they will offer LHR base starting 2021 to have a better circadian-rhythm-management and maximizing acclimatized duty period! :eek:

I don't "want" JFK cut, but it makes the most sense in terms of slots.

Make sure to register your butter knives and make sure you don’t post any offensive memes on the internet.

You know they wouldn't offer an override. Good luck living in London in B6 rates. Lol

To be clear, I don't want ANYTHING cut either. I want growth. But knowing that something is going to get cut, I'd rather it be somewhere else other than my own base. As would everyone else, and anyone saying otherwise is lying. Not meant to be harsh, it's human nature.

London is not more expensive than New York or Boston ... unless you want to rent an apartment in Piccadilly circus and do grocery at Harrods!

Look if a BA FO can survive London with 48,000 GBP per year ... I am sure you can!
