I got the TBNT from UAL back in Jan but since I’m from FL I wasn’t that upset about it. Now at Frontier living in MCO. If UAL opens a base here Frontier is really gonna have to step up their game because they use the FL bases as justification for not improving anything. On the other hand if the base goes wildly senior at UAL that will matter as well. I still have until Jan until I can be reconsidered anyway.

My guess is LAS or Phx. The need a way to get around the California rest and meal break laws. American announced the pull-down of their sfo crew base as a result of the courts ruling that flight crews are not exempt. All flights 4 hours require 10 min off duty. And 5 hours require 30 minutes. A city with hourly flights close enough to still do transcontinental service in a single duty is what they are after, my guess. I have noticed that on the fa side there are extra crew when there are California based crew working longer flights

Now that Spirit/JB is closing ACY united is gonna jump on it...IDK I made that up obviously but it would be as logical as an LAS base...my guess, Florida...we need the real-estate we're running out of gates MCO has the gates...don't know about TPA never really paid that much attention there plus MCO is in the middle and in the middle is accessible to all around it.

That would certainly seem to be their primary objective in doing this, but does it help the company if existing NB CA vacate EWR to MCO, or LAX to PHX, thereby leaving new holes to fill where the current unfilleds are? Seems like it always comes back to the need for some incentive to bid CA at the existing coastal bases….

I did submit a new application internally a couple months ago. Need the link to get back to it. I can’t seem to find the email they sent me

Question for United Guys, about MCO
So, say if MCO is the base to be announced. Can any of you United guys shed some light on how long it would take a new hire to even see that base in the future? Is it even a realistic consideration for someone to think they will be able to drive into work someday, or are these pipe dreams? I’m guessing this would be a very senior base?
Also why I’m seeing some people saying MCO/TPA? What is meant by shared base? Like a satellite base for starting out and finishing TPA?

There is some precedent with satellite/codomicile whatever you want to call it in NY and LA- ie you cover LGA/EWR/JFK depending on fleet, LA you cover a few in the area. I’m guessing it’ll be a codomicile simply because they’re close, and we have a medium sized presence in both, so why not cover them all? You’ll always end the trip in the same base you started from and you get “crosstown pay” for the satellite airport.
