And then Delta already announced it as a Flight Attendant crew base. If they're full of crap about Austin they have a weird way of showing it.
To be fair Delta has many small FA crew bases. It doesn't mean a whole lot. They have much better control over it because they are non union. It's cheap and looks good to the city. If they open a pilot base that would something. Unlike our CBA, they have a long list of restrictions and provisions to prevent what's happening here these day's with displacements.
