There were lots of announcements. Videos on SWA Life. In the news, etc.

Management chickened out. No new base. They might add some more pretzels to the female owned pretzel bags though.

IMHO, something is brewing and that’s why the delay in announcing a new base. It could be bidding on NK’s assets, or M&A (doubtful), or negotiating with an airport board like KSAN (most likely).

Perhaps negotiations are ongoing and that’s why the company can’t commit to making an announcement yet.

They really need a 2nd runway. It's getting bad in SAN.

Imagine if El Toro and Miramar both became Civilian Airports and the Marines had moved to George AFB where they were wanted and closer to their training ranges and areas. SoCal would have experienced a far better quality of growth and influx of top line companies and jobs.

Facts:

-“Closer to their training ranges and areas” is a flat out lie. Marines need to be near the beach. That is literally what they do, amphibious assaults. Hence the bases at Miramar and Camp Pendleton.
-El Toro was in fact closed and given back to the public. Instead of using it as a civilian airport they decided to make it into a park and suburban neighborhoods.
