How much flying does Skywest do out of AUS right now? I took a quick glance at what's left of AA's RJ operation there and it's all Envoy. It doesn't seem like enough to justify a domicile even with the DL MAF/MFE/BNA flights starting in a couple weeks.

Good for who, the 4-5 lifers who might live there? Another small outstation base that will further water down the lines. Should save a ton on those pricey hotels though.

It says the base will be handling Delta flying. I presume it will pull some from MSP and SLC, unless we actually can increase staffing in a few months.

As far a those wanting to be based in AUS, the standing bid list has plenty willing to go. It doesn't look like it will be a junior base.
