Doesn’t work that way. It’s better money wise to not have a SDF base, just cover the flying out of SDF. That way they get paid for DHs they don’t have to do.

They can sit 4 days in a row of hot with dummy DHs and get paid roughly 100 hours for those 4 days.

As someone who would benefit from the big sucking sound a SDF 74Y domicile would create, I'm practicing reverse psychology.

I'd love 50 crews in the next year, and it makes sense for how whales are increasingly in the SDF network, but I've been here long enough to not hold my breath about bidding it.

Your rumor saying a standalone bid this fall, or integrated into the December bid?

Standalone to keep the bleeding to a minimum (massive training events, no equipment locks, new domicile, etc).

Although I’d love it if this happened, I’m completely skeptical. A new domicile opening would result in a lot of super senior MD and Z dudes jumping over and totally screw an already screwed training department. It’s more practical to just JA guys to fly their mythical DH to SDF and then start the trip. If we weren’t so far behind the power curve this would make more sense.

Hence the small bids as not to create such large domino effect scenarios. 15 crews creates multiple but manageable backfill training events.

I too am skeptical but I’ve heard the same rumor. 10-15 captains, 25-35 FOs. They’ll probably throw this bone at us right before peak. We’ll see.

It would be great to be wrong 😁

True.
Although personally I’m still hoping there never will be a 74 sdf domicile.

Elaborate? You among other UPSers seems to have good angle. Opinions welcomed 😬
