So what are everyone’s thoughts on this? I just accepted an offer from PSA a few weeks ago and was super excited because I just moved back to Cincinnati after being gone for 12 years and was excited about the thought of not having to commute anymore. Do you think Dayton is going to be super hard to get out of training because everyone is going to try to jump ship there?

Cool, yeah I figured it would be pretty senior for Captain, keeping my fingers crossed that its not terrible for FO. Commuting for a while wouldn’t be the end of the world as nothing could be worse than my present commute, but I worry a little that there are suddenly going to be a lot of commuters out of CVG once it closes which could make getting out of there more difficult.

It’s probably going to be a year before things approach a steady state
March is the first month without a cvg base. The degree to which CVG line and reserve flying restribution matches pilot redistribution will drive another round of moves in a bid then that will probably be effective june 1 or so and probably a smaller echo bid thereafter.

Your best bet is to move somewhere else.

It can't be a base that no one can hold until just before they are forced to upgrade. (Nobody goes there anymore! It's too crowded)
Dayton had roughly 25 reserve lines last month. I have a really hard time believing 25 FO's are going to be fighting over DAY SCR when they could have R1 elsewhere.
