^^^^^^^ THIS. It seems so painfully obvious.. more gates at The MAT, and more than likely new slots due to lawsuit in EWR..between both airports we are destined to scale up significantly. 3 legacies and JetBlue have NYC co base ..They must see some logic in it. It’ll be junior and not super popular .. but I think it’s almost a certainty

Basing pilots in DEN would eliminate scheduling from having to continually deal with commuting issues out of Denver.
New gates are coming.
If you go to the Spirit ALPA site you can plug in 100 miles out from DEN and see where everyone commutes to. It's around 50 total to all our domiciles.

Denver is a distant fourth based on the data on the ALPA site. ATL tops the list, followed closely by IAH (when 200 mile ring is considered, which captures Austin and Waco). PHL is pretty high with obviously the lion's share going to ACY. DEN comes in with roughly half the commuters as ATL and IAH.

Right. DEN has 50 commuters at 50NM ring then that number stays pretty flat to 56 at the 200NM ring. About 80% of those pilots commute to LAS; the rest to DFW/DTW/ORD.

Nothing will help recruiting more than our contract, seniority growth, and a NYC base being the junior domicile

Please God, let it be Atlanta….. Would really help out my relative seniority….

If we’re going for divine intervention, I would go for SLC

Is hou/iah pilot base a real rumor?
Given that there’s a redacted email about ‘the new IAH base,’ my money is on IAH.
