Or not...maybe they are just reducing CVG some more for the impending merger.

hmmmmm almost 5 pm and no announcement. It seems like almost every week someone says we are announcing the mco base. NOTHING has really happened and the may lines are out.

basically what i mean by that is if we were taking over orlando flying (enough to open a base) in May, doesn't anyone think that would have been reflected in the 50 seat lines?

I heard from an ASA CP that the MCO and CVG base rumor is pretty solid, anything I have heard from him is usually is true.

Just my $.02

So it is a pretty established rumor then...

well someone has to take up the slack that freedom is losing in MCO, there probably getting some of there flying out of CVG also, thats probably where all these rumors are coming from

...but still a rumor for the moment.

well we just got a bulletin in my email about MCO operations and the location of our crew lounge and its access code, sounds like the base in MCO is pretty official to me!

We did receive an Info Bulletin about MCO operations today regarding where to find the crew lounge, etc etc. No news on a base there, though.

Bronco you beat me to it.

So where are all the "new" airplanes? we are only getting four.... I do agree with you though that it seems they are establising a base, weird though that they didn't preclude that message with a base opening announcement. The only thing I took from that message is a virtual base for a small ammount of flying... If they do open a pilot base I will eat my words... Shoot I hope they do i'm just cynical
