SL said the other day it works in BOS best pre and post covid in their network planning. So I’d guess BOS. I also think LAX will be the next 220 base after BOS.

And a 29 knot x-wind limit. I could probably handle that!

Are you kidding me 29kts X-wind limit? Good luck trying to land in some NE cities in the winter. I never heard of an airliner with such a low x-wind limit.

Hahaha don’t you and Joe wish. That would be awesome though. I thought the DCA base was happening in 2 years?

It’s a company restriction. Not sure what it’s approved to by the feds.

If there was going to be a new base I really hope it would be somewhere better than DC. How about SLC or LAS or BNA? Anywhere other than the high taxed over populated areas in the NE or Cali.
