Just me being selfish...but I'm secretly hoping for a ROA jet base.

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.

Thanks for that info!

In the townhall, LH name dropped DCA as a place we will focus on in the future. Although, he made a much bigger deal about Philly.

Lga will operate the 145 and 140 right now out of LGA. it seems too coincidental for me.

I could see you guys opening RDU. I have a feeling that DCA will end up being a PSA domicile.

DCA makes most sense for our route structure

I'm not totally disagreeing with you, but AA does not want further outstation basing. It tends to negatively affect recruiting, and also the performance of the hub(s) that outstation serves. ORD makes a lot of sense for the PSA folks at this point, as the rest of the CRJ's are coming from there next year.

PDT is taking as many 145s and 140s from envoy as they can handle. I think envoy will move to a lga/jfk operation wroth the 175 eventually and we will start with the 140/145 in lga as we can handle more airframes.
