I vote for DCA it’s the only one right now that makes any sense and I’m not biased at all.
If we had enough 220s I could see that possibly add BWI. What kills dca right now is it’s a mix of bus and 190. This is where the 220 would be perfect there.

But I haven’t heard anything to support my theory so probably won’t happen.

Part of me just thinks management keeps the rumors swirling just to keep people interested, and likely has no intention of new bases outside of the current spirit bases….
the SFO rumor when Mint was just starting….
the SJC rumor once SFO delays were piling up and we left OAK…..
the LAS rumor….
the RDU rumor….
etc etc etc and nothing to show for any of it…

TA section H.1
Hmm
If the Company opens a new Base, a PBS solution will not be published unless the ALV is within plus or minus three (3) hours of the published ALV for the first twenty-four (24) Bid Periods in that specific Base. If the PBS solution is not within this range, the Company must first adjust the credit window thresholds prior to limiting the number of minimum or maximum awards to achieve ALV plus or minus three (3) hours for the first twenty-four (24) Bid Periods in that specific Base. For the purpose of this provision only, “new Base” refers to a city in which the Company has no existing Pilots as of February 1, 2023.
