Isn't this one of three prophetic signs of the "end of times"?

1. Cubs win a World Series

2, Tom and Giselle divorce

2. United actually opens rumored FL pilot base

Time to stock up on ammo and food!

2 cities renown for their retirement communities, they’re gonna go ultra senior until the pilots hit 65, they run out of water, or they run out of new balances. I’m not sure which is gonna happen first!

Seriously though, this is a time when Denver and Chicago and Houston are going to new hires in indoc. Unless this is a tiny base like Guam or Cleveland, any NB FO will be able to get it. But we don’t know what aircraft will be there, how big it will be, or what cities they will be. Until it’s official we’re just worried about pure hypotheticals.

I just want to point out that "Sketchers" are much more comfortable than "New Balance."

😂 As someone who likes to work out on overnights and rarely has enough room in the bag for 2 pairs of shoes, I can empathize with anyone who’s dinner attire has ever included an old beat up pair of runners.

No updates aside from them considering MCO/TPA, LAS, PHX

TPA/MCO? Is that area full of commuters? I know for Delta the whole state is just wouldn’t think many United as the two closest options would be IAH, IAD.

we have lots of commuters from there. When I was EWR based pretty much 75% of the guys I flew with lived in FL. Also we used to have an MIA base.
