DCA will be a PSA base for a multitude of reasons that all make pretty good sense. Many thought that ORD would be the next base because that's where the remaining 700s are being transferred from, but I think AAG wants PSA to focus and grow primarily on the east coast and the CRJ flying in ORD will be done by SkyWest. Also, I don't think they want any of the WO regionals competing for new hires in any one base. It doesn't make sense for PSA and Envoy to share Chicago. And it wouldn't make much sense for PSA and Piedmont to share DCA. I think Piedmont's next base won't be a huge east coast hub, but somewhere like RDU.
