FWIW I heard 717 TPA and 737 LAX. I really love commuting to the West Coast.

Would LAX be more popular than OAK or just as unpopular? I hope they put the base in a place where people want to live instead of where they don't. It seems that Denver would be pretty popular......what would be wrong with that? If you put a base in a popular place that will go senior it will free up vacancies in all the other bases so more people can get what they want. In any case, the more choices the better I think, it would be nice if there were 20 bases to spread out the seniority and minimize commuting to the extent possible. A few mini-bases would be an interesting experiment.
 
Denver has a lot of new ground equipment scheduled for delivery by the beginning of next year. Enough to equip the remaining Delta gates on the C concourse.

With the sale of F9 on the horizon, DEN has to become a base.
 
I would suppose a big part of the equation is O&D traffic for any new SWA base. The current basses are heavy O&D cities. Think big population centers.
