Will not be another CA city, workman's comp and taxes go through the roof if more than one base supposedly.

ADD: ATL/MIN/MEM if the micro-base start ups are in the works

I'm betting on Las Vegas. It's our busiest station.

The scheduling committee has run line construction scenarios on the major base possibilities. They know that LAS would be a popular choice on the line, but they found that the lines out of LAS would SUQ bigtime, and even have a degradation effect on other bases. Early PM starts, late AM finishes, plane changes, mid day sits, et-cetera.
The nicest sched scenarios came out of SMF and TPA. The swapa recommendation then became TPA. However, a birdy told me that the company is leaning toward BNA, but they are still running marketing and yield scenarios.

STL or MCI. Dallas growth will funnel through these two cities.

Denver will be a SWA base but will probably be 3 years out.

 

[SKYWAITRESS]

Since everyone is putting their two cents out there...here's mine

GSP!

 

[PA-22]

I'll bet PHL. How much is the jackpot as of now?

Sounds like the Vegas we currently have.

I agree, what's the difference?
