Wouldn't be surprised, I think everywhere AA has a base we will too within a few years.

That sure seems to be the trend. MIA, PHL, PHX, DFW.

What else does AA have?

ORD. Oh, wait…

in my opinion it is not "Does AA have a base there" = Yes then Frontier is coming to town

It is ----> "do other majors" have a base or extensive activity there = We can steal from the pre-existing pile. "there" being the city/metro area not the exact airport itself.

Business 101, not "bad"- just business

Yes, but....

It certainly seems like Frontier is choosing to seek out AA hub cities. Easier pickins'

We were talking About that, and surprisingly we have almost as much if not more overlap with southwest cities; phx, mco, las, den, mdw, dfw

Yeah except Southwest has about 4x the gates as us at every single place. Even in Denver. ALTHOUGH, I did hear recently from some exec that we are keeping our gates in DEN, using the stairs as overflow when they are built, and I wouldn't be surprised if they got AAs gates they are leaving (anyone know who gets those gates?)

SW is 8 times our size. The CP town hall said we are getting the AA gates but we are giving up gates on the west side of A concourse. Just a gate swap.

But the town hall also said we are going to have a thousand planes…so we need those gates! :p
