In terms of SCL, attrition at the base has nothing to do with the closure. If UA wanted to put more bodies into the SCL domicile they would have - there were transfers on file to the base. It is simply not cost effective to maintain the domicile there anymore. </font>
Interesting take on the situation vis-a-vis reasons for closing SCL domicile. Personally, I felt it was a matter of time for them once they assigned the language position to MIA, something that was officially attributed to the lack of qualified persons in domicile. I wasn't aware of the outstanding transfers on file.
