So I suggest to get comfortable and used to it being open

ORF will probably go the way of CAK. Stay a MX base but stop being a crew base at some point. We got cheap facilities from Air Whiskey when they lost their AA flying. It’s strategically located for MX. Not so much for reserve crews. They would be better utilized in a hub.

Oh and btw it supports Mx for A/C in PHL and DCA as those hubs do not offer MX facilities. As they say in real estate, location location location is key.

(besides the combined 40 people who live in TYS and ORF, but who really cares about them, amiright?).OR scheduling can just undergo a massive overhaul, we can clean house in the upper management of the department and instantly have a much healthier "heartbeat" for our company, truly making PSA the most respected airline, recognized for having the best team and performaaaaaa I give up.... is it time to flow yet???
