Interested in this too since I am going soon...

Not a rumor my man

SAV will open before the end of summer...

I know, it's APC and rumorville! But they just opened the maintenance hub in SAV so I guess that would be a prerequisite for a crew base possibly.

A vendor for SAP was chosen. It’s called adopt. The reps I have talked to say that a PBS LOA will go out for a vote but it will be a while longer before we see it. I’m thinking around October if I had to guess.

If that's the case then we would have seen CAK as a crew base already.

For some (maybe even quite a few) CAK would certainly beat getting senior assigned to ORF...

At least it's more (geographically speaking) commutable.

If we open SAV, that would be four new crew bases (PHL, ORF, DCA) basically ON the East Coast. These are less commutable because there is no one to commute (by land or air) from further east to any such bases.

(OK, I know DCA isn't exactly on the coast, but for most practical purposes it is...)

I guess I was responding to the guy saying that a maintenance base was a prereq for PSA to open a crew base. Just saying I disagree because we would see CAK as a crew base again.... But I do think they will open SAV. But that's a guess.

That's what I said and not because I know anything(because I don't), it's just common sense. SAP and PBS gets a pilot vote because it impacts QOL, ALPA requirement. What we're talking about is a complicated agreement, late summer is way too ambitious. I doubt anything would get ratified and take effect before next year. Our pilot group needs to use a little common sense before believing rumors because it came from XYZ important source. A senior check airman told me two years ago that someone from the NC told them, "captain pay raises are right around the concer." I don't care who the source is, I'll believe it when I see it.
