I don’t see this group giving up anything without getting something in return. This isn’t a regional.

Delta and AA have pretty bad co-domicile rules, as well, so don't be so quick to dismiss it. I can't think of many scenarios where it benefits the pilot group at all.

I hope not, if they do hopefully its later than sooner, atleast until i get my line... as a new guy living near PBI, my 45 min drive to FLL is fine with me. An additional 1 hour fighting that crazy miami traffic on reserve will be no bueno for me! :cool: lol

sounds like you’ll need a pass for the train

You might not like the dilution of flying but more bases will/can provide for better QOL for our pilots. Sorry if it doesn’t work for you

In what way?

Do we have more than 30 departures per day from any other other locations that are not a base? LAX or TPA maybe?

We have the language in the contract, I'm not sure why the company would even need to discuss this with the union.

"Co-domiciles means two or more airports served by pilots within the same domicile provided that any of the airports are no more than 50 statute driving miles distance from the primary domicile and no two airports are more than 75 statute driving miles distance from each other."

Exactly. I can’t imagine Miami not being a co domicile with FLL, the language is there, the company needs to just pull the trigger. The language on pairings starting and ending in different co-domiciles sounds like a nightmare..."make every effort" ugh. Nothing worse than finishing a pairing in Miami and waiting on transportation to take you back to your car in FLL.

They can declare MIA a codomicile but the negotiating is how to get crew back to their car.
Also if I've learned anything from these townhalls it's to hear what the company has no intention to do and try not to be shocked 30 days later when it comes true. So that means the next announcement is that we're flying to Canada, Dulles, or Kennedy.

LAX does more departures per day than ACY, DFW, DTW, ORD, EWR, BWI, TPA, ATL and more. LAX is also a MX base not to mention… a lot of the LAS trips support LAX:D

I’d imagine the easiest and most likely would be to just make any trip that starts in Miami end in Miami. If they can’t make that happen then I’d imagine they will have to pay you for a limo/deadhead back to the airport you started.
