Ok serious comment, not just wishful thinking - I’ve heard from some recent interviewees that there are whispers of a Houston base being planned potentially before the end of the year. Yes, this is rumor but this time it’s coming from someone who doesn’t live in Houston and merely wishing it could happen.

Historically, a base has needed 20-ish direct flights to other cities as Step-1 before consideration for base. It has also needed on-site local Airbus maintenance talent, contractor or otherwise, and hangar space for overnight maintenance or maintenance while bad weather existed.
A large number of TDY/RON/overnights in that location was also a consideration, as this cost the company alot of money.
IAH has 6 cities served by Frontier
HOU has 3 cities.
CLE and CVG each have 11 or 12 cities

What we were told in training was that is shorter trips are for maintenance purposes. They are trying to bring back aircraft to larger MX bases because of lack of maintenance/staffing in outstations. Hard to believe it isn't more about saving on crew hotel costs though...
