Is the company opening any new pilot bases to coincide with the new Flight Attendant Bases announced today? (FLL, AUS, TPA, & SEA)

The smallest of the new FA bases appears to be TPA, with 21 mainline departures today. Each flight would require a rough average of 3.5 FAs (we'll round that up to a total of 75 FAs needed per day). As mentioned earlier, FAs can work on any equipment.
I believe the biggest UA stations without pilot bases right now are BOS, LAS, and MCO. BOS had 42 mainline departures today, so a need for 84 pilots per day. But, those departures were split between the Guppy (22), Bus (11), and 756 (9). No single fleet even comes close to requiring 75 pilots per day in BOS. CLE has managed to remain a 737 base with significantly fewer total daily NB departures than BOS/LAS/MCO. But, it continues to slowly shrink through attrition and its future has long been in doubt. If the 737 fleet grows enough at the expense of the 757, I suppose it might justify another base or two. But on the whole, it seems unlikely that the CO will open any more pilot bases. |

Otherwise we’d have all the common sense and humor of a Delta pilot. |

Nope, that is why I asked, I was a F/A for 15 years at UAL, but quit to complete my Ratings and 1500 ATP Hours & fly at a Regional until I can get back

“All your base are belong to us" was a popular Internet meme based on a broken English ("Engrish") phrase found in the opening cutscene of the European release of the 1992 Mega Drive/Genesis port of the 1989 arcade video game Zero Wing, which is subtitled and poorly translated.

It's worth watching at least once. All your brain are belong to us. Here's one set to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE6emvdmg-M |
