Naturally!
I don't think the other shoe has dropped regarding the west coast 717 operation though. They're gonna want to tie it into the eastern operation, and SLC is the only logical place (hub) within range of any east 717 cities, such as STL, ORD, MSP, MCI, BNA and so on... otherwise...
If they don't tie it in, then it's like two ecosystems evolving separately, and you could see the west coast 717's mutate into some horrible, surfer-speak-soul-patch-wearing-tofu-eating-free-love hippyfest, with ties optional and pilots with suntans. Not on my watch. No sir!!
