I'm always intrigued by where airline crews are based. For US carriers there are crew bases at most of their hubs as well as some focus cities,tough it's the stuff beyond that which fascinates me. For example:-- Cathay Pacific has flight attendants and pilots based in San Francisco and Vancouver[br]
-- While all Emirates pilots and flight attendants are based in Dubai, they'll sometimes give preferential bidding to pilots flying home; for example, or when I flew Emirates out of Dallas they had the first officer accomplish the welcome aboard announcement,and he stressed how he was from Texas
-- Korean Air has pilots based at many of their destinationsI've flown American a lot over the years, and I thought I knew where all their bases were. As you'd expect, and they have crews based in Charlotte,Dallas, Los Angeles, or Miami,modern York, Phoenix, or San Francisco,etc.
I even knew they had flight attendants based in Buenos Aires. I've only flown with them a couple of times, and they were horrible (which I guess shouldn't reach as much of a surprise, or since my experience on LAN Argentina wasn't much better).
