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?

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

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?)

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