I'll bet you a buffalo nickel if UA had a Florida base it would be among the most senior if not THE most senior domicile, and would easily be 3x whatever our upgrade time is in FLL.

There's nearly an entire nation of people who don't want to live in Florida...

Although I hear Ft Meyers is nice.

Just saying.

I bet you a wheat penny probably not as senior as IAH…but pretty close

Is MIA even senior for AA? I didn't think it was.

That is true, but this state is very popular among pilots for some reason.

The B6 domicile in MCO is a prime example of this.

I think it's popular among pilots who live in Florida or want to live in Florida.

this is the worse argument ever. Also as someone pointed out MIA is junior at AA. This theory that NK doesn’t have any crappy bases is horse ****

Never said we didn't have crappy bases...we do. But what we don't have is bases in exhorbant COL areas (SFO/LAX/DCA/NYC).

MIA/FLL is getting there but still isn't on the level of those areas in terms of COL. Rents have doubled in Brickell and people from NY and CA are still moving in and talking about what a great deal it is.

Come February, what's the seniority of the junior FO/CA in ORD/DFW/DTW?

Classy statement about Fort Myers. My parents live not far from there and the whole area is devastated. But I guess you don’t know how to have class or sympathy.
