The word from the VPs in a recent upgrade class was no DFW base. Our DFW flying is primarily designed to route airplanes into the right place for overnight maintenance. We don't do anything west of DFW, and doing so would require us to go to 24 hour staffing in the SOC. Too much cost for too little benefit right now.

Bases do come and go, and the Mesa airplanes could really change the equation. But I'm saying that, not our execs.

That was an MD80 for years. Then a CRJ900 and 175. PSA and the Dayton base never was in place for any of the AA flying. It’ll continue to make sense and be around. It has long before I was at PSA and has been long since I have departed. Rumors never help anyone.

Which is why I don’t think a DFW base is coming..... Everyone here is trying to rationalize a DFW base lol. Remember how ORD worked out right?

PSA is doing 175 flying while the 175 handles Max routes. It’ll all change when the Max is back.

whats the difference between “175 flying” and 900 flying? They’re both 76 seat regional jets...

Have you ever sat for 2 hours in a 175 and then 2 hours in a 900 for comparison? There is no comparison. You can’t even bring your bags with you.

So a subjective approach based on your opinion. Still both are 76 seat regional jets. It just all depends on which carrier gets the flying for the month.
