If we ever do west Pacific flying (could do islands further west with the Max like UAL does out of Guam) I’d think we’d need a mx base there…possibly even a small crew base for rsv coverage.
CPA’s are expensive. Since RASM/Yields are in the toilet on the inter island I doubt for SWA it’s worth it at the moment. Especially what fuel costs are at the moment. That lever is there though. Still scratching my head about the lounge out there. They have a plan of some sort. Just can’t figure out what.
