CLE? Not so much.
(FWIW, I'd love to see a bunch of smaller bases as I live in one that would be on the short list. Doesn't change the math unfortunately.)

Satellite bases will also be able to handle appropriate levels of reserve coverage (IMHO)

CLE & GUM are contractually compliant Bases and Categories, the only difference is CLE is managed from ORD by the company.
The same can be done anywhere else anytime! (MCO, TPA, LAS, SEA, BOS). Staffing and fleet mix would be discussed with the company and ALPA first!

Did we get the floor removed in exchange for more restrictions on Transfer days? Or was there another reason we agreed to a limit?

If you want a good test case for satellite bases, look no farther than our regional partners. They love small outstation bases in places like Indianapolis, Dayton, Columbus, Norfolk.
Many of us had to suffer under the outstation basing model. Productivity and seniority get diluted. Deadheads skyrocket. I'll take hub basing.
The Dr Dao incident started when Republic added 4 deadheads going to an outstation at the last minute.
