Choosing a base has less to do with how many destinations YOU serve but a lot to do with how many destinations the AIRPORT serves. The company needs to be able to get crews to the base in a pinch, so a major airport served every day by big airlines makes more sense.
My money is on PHL (where we already have FA’s) but no time soon.
The Austin dream is just that...a dream by people who live in Texas.

It's looking probable that AUS will eventually become a base, but our network and frequency needs to grow more. I wouldn't make any short term plans (<5 years) based on it happening.
Watch, we'll all be completely wrong and everyone hired in the last 2 years will be commuting to upgrade there...

I can see Austin being a base long term. Low cost, no huge banks from other airlines, good weather in the winter. They can staff reserves heavy in Chicago and get a pilot anyway system wide to meet system wide disruptions from a central time zone. Yeah, I can see it.
