Flight attendant hotels are less expensive
Beyond that, I have no idea and wonder the same.

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
so...

so...
CVG - 11 (DEN, LAS, PHX, CUN, MIA, RSW, TPA, MCO, ATL, RDU, PHL)
CLE - 13 (DEN, LAS, PHX, DFW, CUN, MIA, FLL, RSW, TPA, MCO, ATL, RDU, PHL)
DFW - 19 (DEN, LAS, PHX, SFO, ONT, SNA, SAN, CUN, MBJ, MIA, TPA, MCO, ATL, RDU, BWI, PHL, LGA, CLE, MDW)
IAH - 6 (DEN, LAS, CUN, MCO, ATL, PHL)
HOU - 4 (DEN, LAS, CUN, MCO)
I doubt either IAH or HOU will ever be a base. Flying out of either airport has not picked up since Nov '22. We will have nine bases starting in May. IMO, a base would have to be within the top 15 preforming locations consistently before being considered. Let's see where things are starting May through the summer.

Speaking of "Barry’s outdoor gates", what is going on with that? Every time I taxi by the east end of the A concourse it looks like nothing is happening out there. What gives?

If you really want to get technical:
CVG - 11 (DEN, LAS, PHX, CUN, MIA, RSW, TPA, MCO, ATL, RDU, PHL)
CLE - 13 (DEN, LAS, PHX, DFW, CUN, MIA, FLL, RSW, TPA, MCO, ATL, RDU, PHL)
DFW - 19 (DEN, LAS, PHX, SFO, ONT, SNA, SAN, CUN, MBJ, MIA, TPA, MCO, ATL, RDU, BWI, PHL, LGA, CLE, MDW)
IAH - 6 (DEN, LAS, CUN, MCO, ATL, PHL)
HOU - 4 (DEN, LAS, CUN, MCO)

I’m sure others will chime in on this one but I am guessing that will be a company ask in the next round. I think FAs already have it. But this is going to be a big ask so what’s the company willing to give us for it? It had better be big because Chicago, Dallas, Phoenix, Philly, and Miami all could be used as dual bases. Obviously other cities could too but just thinking about bases we had/have.

We have already operated dual bases for pilots in the past.
Chicago used to serve both airports. Convenient for commuters! Lol
I don't believe there's anything in our contract preventing them from doing it again. Correct me if I'm wrong
