I wouldn’t be surprised if they open it as a FA only virtual base just to spite us for picketing there.

Don’t worry—I see plenty of open time awardees for tomorrow to cover for us. The good ones bid straight.

But just 20 ramp guys. :D

Half of which are usually calling out "sick" a week at a time to go skiing and then detox to be able to pass the pee test.

Feel free to bookmark my post here for future reference when they tell us due to uncertainty in the economic climate, they've had to adjust their new hire numbers from 2000 to 800 and our aircraft deliveries have been slashed in half. Rinse and repeat.

That’s facts. I’m starting to realize how they play this game. It’s exhausting.

Getting back to BNA as a crew base. I remember Pete McGlade (former VP is Schedule Planning) telling my new hire class that BNA would never be a base. His reasoning was that he could originate a plane on the East Coast and have it be in BNA in time to be an originator therefore there wouldn’t be enough planes overnighting in BNA to justify a base. Of course a lot had changed since he planned the flights for Herb.
