I know this is a really really old thread but with the post-COVID domestic focus and shift from international is this any less likely of just being a fantasy at this point?

Was this pre-approved by the London van driver? I haven't heard him weight in yet.

Is Cleveland still a base? I figured once all the pilots died over there they would shut it down. Something to do with the lease that was signed with the city? Not sure why CLE makes any sense at all.

Every time I work a turn out of CLE it just feels like an old airport that once’s thrived. Always dead, love the peace and quiet though.

I wouldn’t go down the road of closing bases though, you should be wishing/pushing for more base openings not closures.
