Horizon will still get a big chunk of SAN flying for Alaska.

They will fly from SAN to:
ABQ
MCI
MSP
MRY
STL
STS
FAT
MMH
SMF

I don't know why virtual domiciles aren't targeted by company as easy qol-cuffs.
They would be lines (not pbs) of locals and two days.
BNA-Ord-abc-Ord-Bna

I'm guessing reserves wouldn't really be an issue. If I was a commuter and company came out with this I'd pick up my phone and help out to make sure my driving to work continued.

Good move by Skywest, Nashville is a hidden Jem. Tons of people moving to that area. If you guys open a base there you should be getting tons of pilots from the local university there. Large 141 program about 30 minutes away.

We've had a maintenance base there for several years+. There hasn't been any mention of a pilot domicile. I think it would be a good place to have one though. I've always liked the area.

And 2 months ago ASA was doing 90% of the CRJ 200 flying in ATL. (By 2018 they will do none, all 9E/OO) Routes change airlines all the time..

In addition to the reserve issue, virtual domiciles seriously dilute both the available pairings at the hub, and the flexibility to construct efficient pairings.

I'm not sure whether my QOL would be better with a virtual domicile at home, where I'd have very little schedule choice, vs a modest commute to a hub with a diverse selection of quality trips.

And if I lived in a hub, I sure wouldn't want my pairing pool getting diluted.

Virtual domiciles would certainly provide a great benefit to a tiny handful of very senior commuters who live in select outstations. The benefit to everybody else is highly questionable.

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

That would suck. I'm just not sure how much bigger DTW could get. We already have 290 FO'S in the base. What's next 400?! How are we losing west coast Delta flying?

Delta 717s doing the routes now.

And they aren't in Detroit? Hopefully just a rumor. Would be a shame to shrink SLC.

My brain just can't register how we are moving more flying East with DTW. After hearing we are shrinking ORD by 10 200s, it just doesn't make sense that we are giving all those and 7/900s from Delta to Detroit.
