Perhaps negotiations are ongoing and that’s why the company can’t commit to making an announcement yet.
They're negotiating with the Austin airport board on the airport use and lease agreement. The current lease expires 12/31. New terms are expected to be announced early January. Next base will be Austin and my bet is they are just waiting on the final ink on the paper to make it official.
