Nope, as long as it’s timed properly, they will likely be 4 leg day-trips like the rest of the system. Outta Tampa we have 7:30/7:35/8:20 scheduled block days already.
For PBI, 3/6 routes are from our bases so I would imagine the other 3 routes in some combination can be flown from the current bases.
my guess is MSY-PBI-RIC, ORF-PBI-CMH and CHS-PBI-CAK
However if PBI gets more destinations or they expand these flights to week days as well, I could see it being a base. The biggest issue currently is there is no available plane to allow for PBI basing.
