AUS is also going to double their number of gates and add a terminal in the next 3-6 years. Somebody is going to fill that void with a base. All of the other majors already have a significant presence in Texas. For Delta it’s a big gaping hole in the network. Give it 5 years,

I'm living in SLC but talking about where we want to raise a family. Dallas is our front runner, I just don't want to commute forever but if I have to I will. If we went to AUS, I'd love that. How is DFW-ATL commute though, if I wanted widebody flying certainly won't be AUS base I assume...

Ironic. When I went to the 220 from the beginning i had SO many comments. Most of them were oh its just a big rj, ill never fly that, it's too many leg not enough pay. And here we sit with everyone talking about it bidding it including so many that were against it.

AUS is already filled to overflowing. It's absolutely nuts. Pre-COVID, you'd do a 0500 show thinking you'll grab a bite on the way to the gate, but every food place has 30 people in line and the whole terminal is already standing room only, and the only thing you could get is coffee at the self-serve coffee stand.
Every gate is filled, and every spot surrounding the terminal has \ an airplane parked on it (stay on that taxiway centerline!).
And this was after the terminal extension opened.

I think everyone in ATL dreams of a junior mad dog replacement, that they can be senior in. So far I don’t think the 220 is going to be it. Marketing like it for certain markets because the cabin is fantastic. It’s not going to do the Villes of the SE. I think the 73/320 will just be pressed into more of that flying as the 717 goes away.
