I for one hope we keep LGA as a crew base...I'm a US West FA and commute from NY and it's getting harder and harder to commute, getting tired of the jumpseat, sit for a few hours in PHX before checking in...than have a long duty day. Lately I've been going in a day before and staying at hotel just so I wouldn;t have to commute the same day, and also working 7-8 days, putting trips together. And thats hard being away from home that long....hopefully when we're one airline, I will be looking where to sign or bid for the transfer, can't come soon enough.....so here's hoping the small crew bases stay open....
