Back in the olden days we had a SJU base at my previous carrier. There were a number of locals born/raised in PR, as well as lots of junior CA/FOs who were there for the quick upgrades/movement. And of course the local scenery was a big draw as well 👀

It’s going to be interesting to see base survey results, I think In-Flt makes a lot of sense in SJU, just not sure about pilot numbers??
