I’d argue that it is a concession, along with the 20 or so other concessions. Compared to 280 gets. (NC words, not mine). It’s a beauty, eh. That’s why it passes easily. Good value.

More gets by volume. But it’s value that matters. 100 little wins still loses to 10 huge losses. That’s a personal judgement thing- everyone has to balance their own equation.

Bingo. I don’t know why people believe that because there’s not enough room for the planes to stay overnight in the hubs they necessarily need to have outstation pilot bases. There’s this thing called hotels. MCO & LAS were about appealing to pilots, not parking airplanes.

it’s expensive to close a base. I assume LAS and MCO will stay open.
finding a parking spot for a plane and pilot bases are two entirely different things.
do you really think that IAH, ORD, CLE and probably even DEN are “optimum” size?
I would not be surprised if those bases see years of stagnation / shrinking in the future.

Apparently so, since others have piggybacked on your comment.
Let me requote the post I responded to:

Do you think there's a unique benefit in the TA that offsets the concession?
