I do realize that DCA was just announced...but do you think that once all the CRJs get transferred over that there will be an increased PSA presence in ORD? As in a likely future pilot base? Just curious...

There is a rumor floating that ORD is still in the future plans... that being said, CVG hasn't reached it's rumored growth and we haven't even started in DCA. So, it may be a while -- but who knows, we might announce it tomorrow... or never.

CLT base will be shrinking while DCA grows, all other bases staying same size.

They did the same thing when they opened CVG. They took lines from CLT to open CVG. They'll likely do the same thing to DCA and then in 4-6 months after it opens CLT will be business as usual.

I wonder how big theyd like to grow it. Only showing 60-70 pilots for March half the size of our smallest base TYS. Will be interesting to see.

I'd imagine it will end up at least the size of CVG... We are limited by gate space, so we might be doing a lot of ops out of the world.

This may be misleading for new hires.^
DCA is being flown from CLT now. CLT flying isn't shrinking past the amount it's covering for DCA.

And just to reiterate:

Don't know it has been mentioned, but new hires are once again getting CLT base before hitting the line.

DCA is currently being flown from CVG/DAY/TYS too but they aren't shrinking in pilots. I didn't say we are losing flying out of CLT only that we will have less pilots based there as of March 2.

We've always done DCA flying from TYS and DAY and I expect that to continue. Majority of the flying out of DCA is currently covered from CLT lines.. Thus the reduction in crew members 3/2/17.
