9 flights a day is hardly a ton of flying. The main reason the base still exists is to put out fires in BWI, PHL, EWR and LGA. This airline will always need a base in the northeast.

To me BWI makes sense. As we take delivery of more airplanes, BWI can expand more than ACY. Isnt BWI like 20-30+ departures a day? Maybe they both stay a base since we are the only carrier in ACY and it can cover NYC and BWI has lots of its own departures.
But another east coast base makes sense as we get our way towards 177 (hopefully many many more) aircraft. There will be plenty of folks wanting that base.
But at the same time, the same could be said for any major airports that we have lots of departures at.

I'm pretty sure you're the only one getting their feeling hurt on here. Don't worry little guy, everything will be ok.

For some reason I thought it was more than that.... I could have just referred to the time tables.. DOH!

Okay got it. I have you marked down as the one that does the walk around while talking on your phone.

BWI makes a lot of sense. Build it up as a mini hub and crew base. Spirit will always cherry pick ACY. I'm sure it will suck for those based in ACY that live north of ACY to make the trek to BWI. 2hr 30min.

I’ve never seen any FO’s on their phones doing the walk so I don’t know what you’re seeing. I do see the northface jacket every now and then but who cares. Seems like a minor thing to get yourself all worked up about. The leather jacket I wear isn’t exactly the sharpest looking thing and it’s approved.
