FLL and AUS satellite bases
Last thing I want to do is start a false rumor but I was told by flight attendants (credible sources haha) yesterday. They were confident it was announced so I came on here to confirm. Nothing on the net and no company email. Anybody heard anything? I was hoping for LAX but expecting FLL or STL.

As for the lost "seniority power", you can always commute to a more junior domicile.

Sure, if you commute, you might be willing to cut your individual problem by cheering this on. But you're doing great damage to this career for the sake of your own convenience. Just saying. If you go down this road, don't be surprised at what the company will ask for next. Again, just saying.
And I commute.

They don’t have any language in the pilot contract for satellite domiciles. SWAPA would have to give it to them and I would hope our membership is not in a giving mood.
I dont live in domicile but I do reap the benefits of a large domicile with plenty of open time flying and lines to choose from. I don’t want that to change.
