Seriously, LH said in a company memo PDT's mission is to serve smaller communities with <50 seat jets out of PHL. There is no need to move HQ or open a new base at the present time. Therefore, I've taken everything outside of that (E170's, DCA/LGA) to be weightless pilot rumor.
None of what you hear and half of what you see people.

Any rumors of what that new base could be?

- Min days off is 11; for October only 3 lines in ROA had min days off, all the other lines had more, but not more than I think 14 days off.
- The lines are mostly separated into two flavors: AM reports with finishes in the late morning to early/mid afternoon and then lines with PM reports with finishes in the early to late evening.
I like to bid the AM lines so that I have time to do things after getting to the hotel. I hate getting to the hotel late at night. Plus, flying in the morning gets you away from some of the afternoon storms and the operational snowball effects that that causes.
