It’s still amazing this idea about F9 persists. There is no direct evidence in any way shape or form that bases will open or close with a merger of either airline.
There are rumors abound that DFW will be our next base since it has just as many daily departures or very close to the same amount as PHX opening up. ORD did shut down in what seems like a fit of rage against pilots but the FA base is still open. DTW? What makes you think that? The other rumored bases over the years have been CVG and CLE. DTW fills that spot nicely plus doesn't NK already have maintenance facility there?
F9 also “WANTS to grow the rest of the country so why not use the existing bases to do so?” F9 wants to be a real competitor just like B6. They have the exact same goal. Grow. You’re just guessing like the rest of us and passing it off as fact.
