Of course- logic now says to expect the Ontario vacancy bid at 4:59pm this Friday.
I would expect that if they want to open a west coast base Spirit would probably try to do it in conjunction with hiring like they did with SJU. That way they don't have to worry about paying as much in relocation expenses.
