Someone told me they want lots of bases to save on hotel costs…hope that’s not true. I don’t think we need 15-18 bases, but nobody asked me.

The ‘surprise’ is a new international base. The other two are domestic. Minot ND and Akron OH. The international base will kick off a South America expansion using Georgetown Guyana as a crew base. New leadership in crew planning along with the union’s scheduling guru see split bases as attractive options. Winter in Minot, summer in Guyana.
These new bases are transformative, boutique and artisanal.

There’s no RE leaving the mainland so it’s legal to assign to a PM rsv. They’ve never had staffing on the islands for when things go sideways. A small base there would work (if staffed voluntarily) and RE flying could be used with RE rsv.

We have plenty of pilots there who are all over LRF opportunities... Company puts out an SOS, you have a local out there who'll fly a redeye to the West Coast and then hop right back on Hawaiian and sleep on the way back to the islands. They'll bag some serious TFP for being gone from home maybe 15 hours or so....
