New/Reopening of Bases
This is always a fun one… now that precovid flying levels have returned (mostly), what is the likelihood of some old bases potentially reopening? Or some new ones being looked at?

I could see DAY closing much more than any new base opening especially with DCA growing 2x as from Oct to Nov.

I’m trying to picture a situation where Dayton closed but no other base opened. That’s hundreds of people that would now need to be distributed among 3 spots. Would there be enough flying to accommodate that or would there be a furlough?

I think a lot of us would love to see that. No doubt most would prefer DFW, but in my time here I've also been into LGA and ORD a fair bit, but not recently.
With regard to DFW, it will be interesting to see how other non-WO AA FFD contractors can staff their operation there in the coming months.

I’d venture to say Dayton will be definitely be around until all training is transferred to Clt, and even then I’m not sure they’ll close it.
