BWI base?
slow goings on here lately, so I figured a new thread is In order.
Having said that. I personally think we are too small for Yet another base. However Im noticing tons and tons of BWI overnights and flying.Not my favorite city or overnight but business is good there. Anyone think it maybe possible that could happen? would ACY close? Im Verklempt . Talk amongst yourselves.

To cover flights though. And we don’t do a lot of flights into ACY and it’s a base.

While we’re at it let just put a base in MSY and ATL to complete the ghetto triangle. BWI would hurt qol for every pilot here. Enough of the new base talk. We have enough. Let’s grow the current domiciles and let pbs actually work. It doesn’t help if we all work in 20 small bases instead of 5 big ones

This came up during the interview; definitely no plans to close ACY (they brought up the idea once and there was a lot of backlash) but a BWI base is possible. As it is right now they use ACY pilots to cover EWR, PHL, LGA, and occasionally BWI. My vote was to expand ACY and make it a cobase with EWR and PHL.
