EWR Base! ….

 

Base announcement most likely:

"Party in the city where the heat is on
All night, on the beach till the break of dawn
Welcome to ______"

 

4-days going away aligns well with what Frontier is doing.

Overnights here are getting shorter and shorter, can't seem to find any layovers longer than 12-13 hrs these days anyway.

 

Don't be surprised if it is a base reduction bid. Just sayin....

 

this was in the works far before the frontier announcement. There will be a communication soon.

 

You really think a combined airline, IF it even happens, of 350-400 (maybe 500+) airplanes, 1000 flights a day is going to be doing primarily 1-2 days? Frontier does what they do because they are barely bigger than Allegiant and do a ton of Allegiant style shiznit.

We’re going to try it, but I guarantee you there will still be 3-4 days out there. I suspect a lot more 3 days vs 4.

For all intents and purposes IAH is opening this year. Given this coming Vacancy bid is effective for May 1 I’m surprised it wasn’t announced in the TH. Maybe there will be an email just befor the 20th. Who knows. It’s Extremely likely PHL follows, but IAH is coming. Zero doubt about it. BWI never quite got back to the same pax levels as pre Covid I was told.

I literally just had RGS with a CP that everyone thinks is leaving (he’s not). He was the one that told me all of this was/is coming.

Will we have more 2 days? Yes. Will it be 90% 2 days? No. Just see how this **** plays out before you all lose your damn minds.

Also was told in GS, 10 upgrades a month till June then 40+. It sounds like they are going to try to right size the CA/FO sides as best they can till then, but you can only do it and try for so long. Come June upgrades are happening whether they want to or not. 20 airplanes this year.

Despite a new base(s) and 2 days I suspect we will still make the news this summer if you catch my drift 😆 I also highly suspect we will still be short FOs when upgrades ramp up and 200% (primarily FOs) will happen.

 

I heard this, as well.

Not saying you’re wrong, but don’t understand out less overnights in MYR is possible or helps with IROPS when we do so many flights through there. I might just be dumb though.

 

Hell I got stuck in ACY for 5 days during one of the Irop's and it's a base.
