Should Mid-Atlantic serve the mid-atlantic, say with a focus of operations along the seaboard between, say DCA and points south and PHL and points north? If so, then why Pittsburgh? Pittsburgh should be the focus of an airline with a name like, say, Pennsylvania-Southern Airways or Pittsburgh-Susquehanna Airways. (PSA).

Management announced today to the MAA neg. committee that there will be 126 f/as openings for PHL base Commencing Sept. 1. DCA will follow soon after.
F/as will be able to submit their transfers via the HUB. A letter will be sent by MAA management regarding specifics. Keep in mind that the bid process will be open for approx 10 days from the announcement.
As stated, there is 126 f/a openings for PHL. As FYI, there are 116 f/as total at PIT base. All 116 could transfer to PHL and all would be accepted. There are 50 f/as scheduled for July's class, and 50 for August class. The PIT base will be reduced to 90 f/as for the PIT base commencing in Sept.
I believe this information will be very well received by the MAA f/as and be more economical for the many who presently commute from DCA and PHL .
