The evidence for another base to open is increasing. The recent SWAPA email addressed this topic and states:
For March 2026, the key candidates for a new domicile based on RON aircraft are AUS (18), MCI (16), SAN (16), SMF (15), TPA (15), SJC (14), and STL (13).
After consultation with the Company through the execs, it seems the Company is in the final stages of choosing between a few different stations for a new domicile. The resolution should be a matter of weeks and not months.
March seems to be a key timeframe. Again, what do I know?
