I agree, if that's how they intend to operate it. But there aren't any except the one. And really, unless they bridge through SLC, I don't see how there can be. And if they did bridge a bunch of flights through SLC, there'd probably be a base there too. But I don't see that happening. It's not like they'll be flying DSM-LAX or OMA-PDX. That's why I think this whole thing points towards a new category in LAX sooner than later. JMHO.
