I heard things, and some picked up in the last couple weeks, but we have been hearing them for what seems like forever.... so I am still in I'll believe it when it is announced mindset. Until then it is just wishful thinking.
100% speculation by me - I do wonder if planning ahead a bit and they do decide to go the widebody route, you can't fly them out of HOU, MDW, DAL so they might be proactive and open another base they could easily use as a widebody base and are considering moving on it now while the new terminal is still under design. Until the terminal is done they already have easy customs access at STL. But that might just be looking with some bias on my part. It might not factor in at all.

Speculation may be interesting, but this company will never, ever fly widebodies to exotic locales. Period. Paragraph. Full stop. That would require assertive, innovative leadership. We have limp-dick, stagnant management.

Sorry if not directly enough related question… But for anyone who commutes out of STL, how is the pilot/employee parking setup situation? SWA or other airlines…
Is it reasonably safe and secure, convenient to get to airport from lot etc? Is there a airport parking division to contact to get started?

Superpark is on airport property lots, they do monthly fees in the terminal lots, I assume you can do one for the futher out lots but I don't know. Parking spot also has a handful that I would guess you can do a monthly fee. Those are the main two but there are others around.
