[ultrarunner]

...heard it from a F/A who says she has a confidential source in Flight Ops

That's a classic right there...

LOL - Exactly my point. I wouldn't bet money on anything SWA does (remember PHL?), and I wouldn't be surprised at all if we don't announce a new crew base until at least a year from now.

lol.... Man aint it true. I'm out of the rumor business. It'll be what it is when it is and it won't matter to me cause I won't bid it anyway!

How's that?

Gup

I did hear though, from a mechanic whos girlfriends sisters friend knows a guy who dates someone whos Mom was in DAL last week that we are firing all male flight attendants and going back to hot pants with bikinis optional from May till November. This is a reliable source, you heard it here first.

from the horses mouth

From GK's weekly address last week:

"I’ve been on the road quite a bit every week and have had the pleasure of spending some time with many of our Crew Members. I’ve heard a number of rumors regarding a new crew base and, in fact, heard that many of our Employees are planning on attending the Spirit Party in Las Vegas next week with the expectation that we will be making an announcement. So, let me tell you, let me put those rumors to bed. We will not have any announcement in Las Vegas about a crew base next week. We are
looking at a handful of potential locations for a new base for 2007 but have not made any final proposals or decisions on that at this point and it’s going to be a while, I think, before our various Departments complete their analysis and make a proposal. So we might have an announcement later this fall, but it certainly won’t be next week."​

Bummer.

Phx chief pilot told me no announcment for six to eight weeks. They have it narrowed down to two locations.
