I'm hoping it's MCI or STL because I still enjoy my BNA overnights.

We still overnight in other domiciles right? It’s not like you’d lose BNA overnights altogether, and if you’re in a domicile east of DEN you should be praying that it’s BNA and it’s kept fairly small because it will suck out some senior folks from those bases.

What’s hilarious (not really) is that the Kompany has succeeded in deflecting our eyes off the ball.

Eyes are squarely on the prize for me, this is just an entertaining distraction from the same email every week telling me what a POS the big C is.

Precisely

The Csuites are formidable opponents. I’ve come to that realization. There’s no kumbaya feelings on their part, it’s strictly business. Don’t let the deck parties and pickle ball courts fool yah. They are by definition traditional airline management.

Everyone else has had their leaders step up to the plate and getting a contract done. Ours, have been quoted saying, “they are not informed in our negotiations!” If any of us believe that, I’ve got a bridge.

But, who cares? Here comes a shiny new base! Wouldn’t surprise me if it was Midland…

we will open a new base in X location as soon as the contract is done. that'll be their angle.
Just like how other airlines have orders for planes IF the contract gets done.
It's a distraction. But I agree at least it's something worth pondering

I haven't heard anything about when the contract is done. They are opening a new base this year and another one next year.
If they don't....oh well.

Hopefully it will be a crap city so they can reduce the layovers there ie. STL or MCI. How about PDX or SEA? Be great to spend summers up there. Even Hawaii would be nice for a few months until I got my a$$ beat for being a mainlander.
