Exactly. And there isn't a cost benefit to a new base apparently. The flexability network enjoys means that new bases won't happen - a base is for specific fleets, and network moves those around month by month.
What might work in AUS this month might change when network decides upgauge all the A220 to a mix of 320 and 737s. There goes any benefit of a base.
