Southwest crew bases

[Stinkbug]

Would someone be so kind as to list the current SWA domiciles? Specifically, is BNA one of them? I did do a search on here but never found what I was looking for...

thanks for the reply...can you tell me what kind of commuter policy they have, if any?

I'm not positive since I don't regularly commute, but I think it is a 2 flight rule. You need a way to get to base and a back up, and if those end up canceled or full, you can call in, and it is no harm no foul (but no pay) until you can catch up with your pairing. probably a little more complex than that though, so hopefully a real commuter can flesh this out.

That's right on the money....

From what I heard, BNA was in the running and got beat out by Vegas, so if we do announce 1 more base this year, it may be considered again. Never know. Nice thing is, (assume you live in BNA?) there are LOTS of flights to our various bases from there, it'd be a pretty easy commute.

On the SWA media site fact sheet it lists their top ten airports: http://www.swamedia.com/swamedia/factsheet.html#cities

The top ten are the eight crew bases plus LAX (#8) and San Diego (#10). Would it make sense for the next crew base be LAX or San Diego?

Maybe BNA or some other destination is projected to grow into the top ten...
