Piedmont Rumors...

Any news on the LGA base?

 

[zasca]

in theory not at risk now. Whiskey overnights so many rj's there already, opening a base may be just a cost cutting measure. Or are they dramatically increasing their flying there???????????

i dont see how they can close our LGA base...i see at least 5 of our planes there, and i've been told we keep 6 overnight in LGA...*fingers crossed* =/

From what I understand, the reason LGA is becoming a domicile is because of the hotel costs...cheaper to pass the cost to the crews who then have to pay out of their pockets for a crash pad/etc, not to mention they're gonna be doing the CHQ flying for Airways out of LGA

They tell us at AWAC that our new bases will not change anything. Same number of block hours, same overnights, same flights. Just not paying for hotels anymore. So I don't think we will affect the Piedmont flying any more than we already have.
