With SEA gaining two new Asia routes this summer and CVG staying with just the one daily 763 to CDG it makes sense for this move. However the other side is the SEA base will likely lose the A330 from the NW era and pilots will have to transition to the 763.
I know a lot of pilots who are "based" out of certain cities don't actually live there, but fly to their "base" cities and then go from there.
I am hoping they are just be re-"based" on the west coast and that they would still be able to fly their 763's.....
Its also sad to hear that they're reducing CVG more. I've spent a lot of time in CVG and its got a pretty room SkyClub and doesn't seem to have much in the way of delays. The DL terminal is quite roomy and nice as well.
