Thus far there are 3 data points on mco
1) may schedule
2) june schedule
3) slight growth seen on recent base bid
None of this really points toward anything actionable beyond “yeah, there’s a 737 base in mco”
The company said mco was not a hub for the airline operation - just a convenient place to keep pilots. Mco flying will start and finish with a hub leg. No new routes.
The company has commented extensively on other potential narrowbody bases and the unifying theme has been “if the numbers work”. There has been zero official inside discussion of a non-hub widebody base.

When you say will start and finish with a hub leg, meaning one of the legs will fly into a UA hub? But start and finish in MCO?

Historically, outstation based results in a lot of un-commutable trips. I haven’t looked at the bid packages for MCO and LAS (outliner due to number of red eyes).

I hope there is growth out of MCO in the future.
