Why SFO? It’s expensive to operate out of there and you have CA taxes as well as their labor laws. Besides, you already have LAX, for CA and NK has a large base in LAS. They are the second biggest carrier there after SWA.
Even PDX would be better - at least once they’ve finished their terminal expansion. You could cover NorCal flying from PDX fairly easily.
