Okie dokie bud, I guess nothing to do with the 30+ departures out of MCO and the 60+ rooms we pay for there every night.

In the end, I dont think they open BWI or close ACY, for a while. Seems their goal right now is to staff MCO with 100% voluntary vacancies, with the help of vacancy bids, reductions in other bases without backfills, and PBS implementation here soon.
If Bendo has to pay to move a pilot, he loses in his mind.

What are you basing this opinion on? We have swap boards and people swap constantly. We even have ho's who will commute across the country and get a hotel+rental car just to pick up a sweet trip out of base.

Don't call people who pick up open time trips Ho's
Don't want to get the TRO opened again, or a new lawsuit. Management is watching

Lol. At allegiant we aren't negotiating and won't be for many years. And people who travel from Florida to Arizona to pick up a 200% 4 leg day trip are definitely hoes.

25%. That how much the airport authority asked each airline to reduce its traffic by. So definitely slowed. But to a crawl? Hardly.

Out of base is the key there. With a bunch of small bases you lose all flexibility in base. ACY is small and there is very little to swap with usually. Every time we open a new base we dilute the existing bases and lower flexibility as well as slow seniority movement in base. A handful of big bases throughout the country is best. A bunch of mini bases is terrible.

You’d be singing a different tune if you happened to live in one of these “mini bases” and were stuck commuting. I can see both sides of the argument though. Also who says that any of the new bases are going to be small, MCO could very well be bigger than Vegas or DFW when it’s all said and done. Same for BWI if that ever happens.
