New bases?
 
It may have been discussed but are there any new bases being proposed?

any chance BNA becomes a base?

Ha! This never gets old. Everyone’s money was on STL BNA or FLL then we opened… LAX. Long story short, no one knows till it happens.

Next one that’s a popular rumor is MCI or STL. Another theory has been mini-domiciles like our FA’s have.

Like someone else said, you just never know. The BNA rumors have been around for over 2 decades.

Every airline has a BNA “in the works” rumor.

That's quite the fancy new international terminal they're building, someone will open up a base.

it seems to check the boxes and makes a lot of sense.
we wont do it.

re: MCI. i'm from there. i hope we never open a base there. MCI has a bad rep for airlines. every major airline that ever had a base there has gone away.

BNA overnighting AC
 
Just curious howmany overnighting AC in BNA nightly? How may hotel rooms is the company buyin every night?
BNA is the fastest growing city in TN. It's a no brainer to make it another base.

it might happen. Rumor is when they built the new terminal they put in crew lounges underneath.
I still think STL is better. Longer runways for the 787s.
