rumor? not on FI!!! If he said it, it's really true. I'm looking at real estate in the Orlando area already!
I can't wait. I always wanted to be based in MCO and is finally happening.

Doubt it. I see more small bases closing before any open...

I heard about the PHX base but not the MCO.

They are telling the flight attendants in recurrent that they are planning to hold 13 classes of 60 each in 2010. Nothing about pilots yet.

 

[RedDogC130]

can't fly for SWA since we now have a no domestic codeshare in our new contract

 

[EngineOut]

I heard about the PHX base [snip]

What PHX base?

That's because like 3 of those 60 make it more than 3 months...crap pay, crap schedule, crap from management...

Once a year you guys at skywest seem to start this rumor, but ass the guy said above, there is no way its for SW. So move on

 

[flyboyzz1]

It's for jetblue

 

[Erlanger]

airtran?

It is for Airtran and Airtran will also be announcing a base in MCO too.

thank you

That would make logical sense since Airtran HQ is based at MCO and they have mx there too. Also, they've been growing MCO and perhaps FL costs could support what DL couldn't in MCO.

BTW didn't OO just ink a new codeshare with FL out of MKE? Seems logical they might want to expand that too. Between MCO and ATL, which has room for more RJs?

Finally, we can put that 5 year rumor to rest. Good job SWA pilots/union on putting something in YOUR contract to protect YOUR flying. Too bad no one else seemed to care about protecting flying/jobs/the career. Hopefully CAL will keep it at 50 seat jets too. Too bad they never thought about the turboprops when the contract was being written years ago.

All the guys that would come on here during the union vote and make that rumor up will be mad now

That still leaves Canada and Mexico.
