Non-domicile with most traffic
 

Random thought...what do you think, on average, is our highest trafficked airport that's not currently a domicile?

Someplace it's listed I'm sure, but a guess would be BNA, STL or maybe SAN. Someone will know..

From what I remember from the slideshow, I think it's STL.

Just to add to the list above, there are somewhere in the neghborhood of 16 (give or take) RON aircraft in SMF (which is more then OAK). With Hawaii flights starting soon, that could go up. The FA's are about to make SMF a virtual domicile.

What are the odds the pilots get virtual domiciles from the next CBA?

From some of the stuff I’ve heard from FA’s regarding the mini-domiciles I don’t know that i would want one.

Next to none. Virtual domiciles would cannibalize flying from traditional bases, decreasing open time opportunities and flexibility. Nobody I’ve talked to has an appetite for that. (I don’t think it’s a bad idea personally)

If Nashville and St Louis became virtual bases they would be extraordinarily senior.

Hopefully only after Pref Bid passes.

BNA definitely. STL would depend on how many are actually based there. No offense to anyone but Nashville seems to be a much more sought after place to live than St. Louis.

SMF is usually good for 15-20 terminators...

I say FLL

This came up in another thread and I guessed STL due to the number of gates and connections there.
I was wrong (it is number three).
You can pull the reports off of swalife. There is some variation week to week, but the winner is SAN with 829 planned departures this week.
MCO, a crew base, has one more departure than SAN.
The crew base with the most departures is, not shockingly, MDW.
Second place (and soon to take over as first based on expansion) is DEN. Again, I would have never guessed that.

I’m amazed how they can get so many jets through SAN. One runway. Small ramp. Efficient operation there.

DEN is gonna be massive.

This. I'm surprised, but it's nice to see we can work so well in such a limited area when we need to.

It's funny, a year or two ago the news was full of stories about Frontier and United duking it out for flights in and out of DEN, with Spirit quietly increasing there too.

Makes you wonder why LGA is such a cluster most of the time.....

Really? Because JFK, EWR, TEB and weather.
