Swa bna?
 

Been hearing for years that SWA was getting a pilot domicile in BNA. Anyone else hearing this? Had a damper telling me on the employee shuttle that the new BNA remodel features a “major airline” crew room facility.

Could be blowing smoke, but, who knows.

Been a rumor for years and years and year. We’ll have a STL & FLL base before we ever have a BNA domicile.

STL next year.

I don’t doubt it, but is that from a specific source or just spitballing?

Doesn’t seem to be spitballing. Conversation I had with a check airman type at the hotel bar a while back included a company email with some planning info. So far, the LAX announcement was accurate. The document stated 500 pilot base by the end of the year.

STL was a point of discussion in the document.

Of course, LAX is based on ETOPS being approved. Next year is a long way away but STL sure seems to be the next target at the moment.

Then again...airline rumors and spitballing go hand in hand!

I don’t doubt the STL base. It’s definitely the next logical step.

500 pilots in LAX by the end of the year?!

Zero chance.
LAX just opened. The other bases have lots of room to grow except MDW.
Hotel cost and room availability suck in BNA and we have a lot of overnighting crews there, but opening a base (other than maybe a virtual FA base) won’t happen.

I’m starting a rumor. Fredericton, New Brunswick in the Canadian Maritime will be the new domicile for the Canadian operation and the transatlantic operation for the Max-10.

Too late. I already heard that from a senior check-airman weeks ago.

I put my bid in last week. And bought a new hat. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f9331e551a.jpg
