1) They need more bases 2) The recent basing assessment is now based on “where pilots want to live, where do they live vs legacy flight competition” 3) LAS and DFW have been senior for 6+ years Wouldn’t be surprised if we see a LAX base and IAH base in the near future purely to help with pilot rentention/hiring/attrition. Acquiring pilots and keeping them is HUGE on their mind. Can’t wait for negotiations Bases where people want to live haha. BWI and PHL. No one wants to live there and that’s what we will get. |
Please for the love of God open Atlanta to flush the senior people out…..

I mean… he mentioned he wants to see where our pilots live or want to live and ATL has by far the most people/commuters living there

I would like an ATL base too! I would be home a lot more...more chances to be at my son Brandon’s soccer games. And I could cheer him on more.

A lot of people who commute to other bases would gladly take a different NE base. I can think of 10 or so and I don't know many people.

the same could be said for more west coast bases. Perhaps even more so.

Most of the super senior at spirit live in base. The commuters will always bounce around but the only way to flush out some senior people out is to give them some place desirable to move their lives to. BWI ain’t it. Also if our memories aren’t too short remember when we open new bases all the other bases stagnate for a couple of years so enjoy that little fun fact and be careful what you wish for if you want to stay put.
When we opened LAS/DFW/ORD it was a stagnation shrinkage nightmare then just when growth started to happen again along came MCO and stagnation again. |
