I just can't figure out why we haven't been able to grow out west with our sweet sweet "big picture" route plan...
I'm sure paying double the market rate for NK will fix our problems though. There is literally no better way to spend a few billion dollars.

The LAX and LAS situations may be interesting. NK actually flies more into and out of LAX than B6 does, but is based in LAS because (I was told) the parking is cheaper.
Combined - assuming not much overlap - they’d have a pretty decent sized operation out of either base and would probably just keep both rather than working any sort of displacement/consolidation. Makes me wonder though what that would do to seniority at LAS though. California marginal state income tax rate on $300k is 9.3%. Nevada income tax for all brackets is 0%. That’s a non trivial difference. Of course LAS doesn’t have CA’s nice sandy beaches. Sand up the ying-yang, but beaches not so much.

We need more connections through there. As a west coaster, I know when I want to fly to Texas, or New Mexico, Missouri, Chicago or anywhere else for that matter I always prefer to go through JFK.
