A bunch of mini bases is terrible.

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.

Just because I haven't been here until recently doesn't mean I'm new to this whole charade we call the industry

Your relative position will stagnate, and your flexibility, if all the new hires were to go BWI in an A220.
At NK and WN upgrade is at 55%, except for a few holdouts. At all the legacy carriers there is 20 long haul FOs, and now 2 year captains, as long as you don't mind sitting reserve in EWR+JFK+LGA. I think having more types and more bases gives people more options.
