It's already in motion, FAA was notified about BWI base. BWI will continue to grow. It's easy in and out, Loads are high. Plenty of gate space, plenty of cheap gate space!! Over time ACY base and maintenance will disappear.

I'm curious as to what sort of notification the FAA requires.

I'm really curious where you are getting all this insider information. Bendo, is that you?

The ghetto triangle? Ok we get it, no domiciles in predominantly black cities.


AllOva is woke AF.


Also triggered AF, but is all good.

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.

Occasionally BWI? We do more Limo’ing to BWI than any other Base Limo’s to any other City. Almost every RSV pairing has a limo to BWI and on the last day a triple DH to get back to ACY. The drivers from Joe’s Limo can get pretty reckless at times...ammmmriiight?

They use ACY RSVs to limo guys to LGA,EWR, PHL & BWI. All of those cities are growing but ACY hasn’t grown in over 3 years so do the math......

Baltimore is much more commutable than ACY... or Florida for that matter, for pilots in the Northeast.

Chimpy is right on. BWI operationally is a mess and it's a reserve/XY list festival pretty much daily in BWI.
