Well the guessing game continues. With as much flying as we're spinning up for in LGB, David and Dave are convinced we can operate without LGB being a crew base. An airline hub, yes.
Lanny (our Chief Pilot) told our class in April (yes, I'm a new hire sitting reserve) they were considering making OAK a crew base.
Of course, everyone assumes FLL will be the next too.
It's a great rumor and one I'm willing to believe. But then I commute from OAK and I'm dreaming.
