DEN. It's already bigger than some of our other bases.

TPA, because it should have been a base before MCO. And maybe this would get TPA a better food court.

SMF combined with OAK (I have trouble believing this but I've heard it too many times)

BOS. BOS load factors have been huge and even though we don't have many gates there, evidently AT does.

Also heard that the 717's will stay mostly east to avoid creating another 717 mx base.

Disclaimer: I'm usually wrong about all this stuff. But these are the rumors I'm hearing.
