I wonder if that would be SkyWest or Horizion

Someone from Alaska commented saying it'll be QX/AS metal

BOI base rumors back up and running? And now we're going to open 4 bases this Friday? Interesting logic there....

I'm still waiting to see when we get our battery packs...or when the reserve upgrades will be implemented. Everytime I run into someone from SAPA they say it's "practically here".

I know. Someone said BOI/SAN and two others. It's getting quite comical with these rumors.

Did you go to the hotel pool wearing your swim shorts and pilot hat?

Lol would that have improved my chances?

Going Sterile agrees that it does.

So just doing some rudimentary research on SAN flying for OO E175s:
United - SAN-LAX anywhere from 2 to 5 x per day on the E175 currently. There will be the occasional DEN and SFO depending on season.

Alaska: SAN to BOI, AUS, DAL, FAT, OMA, SLC, SMF, SJC, HDN.
Through DAL, Alaska E175s will fly to LGA, PDX, SJC, SAN, and DCA.

Delta: SAN-LAX right now 1 x per day, but by mid summer it'll be 4x per day. (Currently compass does 4 times but will be down to once per day). The switch happens 12 June.
According to Deltanet
Compass departures out of SAN:
May - 179
Jun - 124
Jul - 89

Skywest departures out of SAN (not counting CR7/9):
May - 31
Jun - 136
Jul - 199

AK is turning SAN into a mini-hub/focus city. Plus there's the usual UA/DL/AA outstation flying, everybody goes to SAN.

And this has nothing zip zero to do with SAPA or any contract negotiations (some SAPA types like to create the impression that good things are somehow linked to them in some fashion).

I know nothing about any other bases.

Also LAX and SAN-MEX starts this fall. Just approved.. i bet they are shifting the focus of QX to SEA -North. and OO to PDX-south. Routes change airlines all the time.. look at DTW/ATL for OO. Bet they are working with Alaska to maximize efficiency for both OO and QX. and that includes OO doing a vast majority of the SAN flying.

Unless there are some new aircraft coming that we don't know about any new base would just be shifting flying from our current ones and a reduction in those places. Great if you are in or want SAN but might be bad if you want SEA or PDX. Would really suck if they forced you out of those places.

And for my own little rumor. SLC to lose 50 lines of flying. 7/900s moving back east.

An ATL base with these additional 200s would make sense. Perhaps even just a small domicile with some reserves.
