PDX base will not happen. It's not cost effective for the relatively small group of pilots that would be based there.

I don't think it was cost effective to furlough, either.

Well....Just in February alone there were 426 PDX overnights. LAX had 69, SEA 355, and ANC 2. So that means they needed 852 hotel rooms in February alone, a slow month. Multiply that by 12, you get 10224 hotel rooms needed per year. Even at $50/night, that equals $511,000 in hotel costs. Not to mention the per diem costs of the overnights.

Now, granted, all the overnights won't go away, but that is some serious cash. I would hope they could come out at least cost neutral.

ALPA has participated in numerous studies that indicate the Co. could save $1M a month with a PDX base.

Wow! $1M a month? Think of all the bonuses the execs could get with that!

There is not 1 million a month worth of saving in PDX... maybe 1 million a year!

 

[Fubijaakr]

Sorry, misspoke. Perhaps it was $1M a year. Oops.

I am almost positive they are not spending $50 a night in PDX...I would bet it is something closer to 20-25/night.

No real surprises....just moved SEA to ANC. This next bid should be REAL interesting! Any word on how big PDX will be?
