That would certainly seem to be their primary objective in doing this, but does it help the company if existing NB CA vacate EWR to MCO, or LAX to PHX, thereby leaving new holes to fill where the current unfilleds are? Seems like it always comes back to the need for some incentive to bid CA at the existing coastal bases….
