That rumour, if true, is moronic logic.
If the base is costing the company money (which it’s not) then it probably still wouldn’t close. This takes the cake for the biggest scaremongering campaign this season.
We wouldn’t be having this discussion if the architect and biggest proponent of the base wasn’t soon to be MEL based.
If true, I shake my head and again ponder the intellect of pilots.
Nothing would cause the bases closure faster than an alienated AIPA membership demanding its closure in preference for better patterns.
