One of our EWR ACP and a union officer, have both verified on and off the record now that CAL is close to deciding the outcome of opening a LAX base and a MCO/TPA co-base.
Rumors are rumors and most of what you hear can be taken with a grain of salt but I don't think this ACP would stick his neck out this far on a company voicemail message and announce this without some sort of substance to back it up.
The message details that LAX and MCO would be 737 bases and that no new flying would be generated by this. The purpose is apparently to alleviate the burden that IAH and EWR have with both the FAA and weather problems. There was no info that this would be or could be included with the system bid we are going to have in January.
MCO would possibly be a co-terminal base with MCO. Currently MCO is a very large MX base for us.
We do have a side letter of agreement in our POS C02 that does allow for the investigation of satellite bases and their has been talk before this but bothing of this extent.
The other question this raises is how, if at all, does this coincide with UAL and the closeness thats been examined in the last few weeks between both airlines?
