I personally think the route network over the next couple of years is going to be very fluid. Changes and tweaks will be made to minimize overlap with the legacies. Some full year routes will be made seasonal, and new routes from cities we have never served before will pop up. How things shake out with bases will be anyone's guess, but I'd be pretty surprised if our bases are the same 3-5 years from now.
I think it's going to be more fluid then we realize. They are smart to not want to fight the larger carriers when oil prices are so low and they are matching our fares. When oils prices go up, I am sure we will do more flying to major hubs again.
