It's about $$$. Things are CHEAP in BNA! The city is growing!! Very interesting to say the least.

BNA isn’t that cheap, seems weird to put it in a city Spirit has been flying out of for 4 months.

How does that matter? All they need is their FLL-BNA flight and they are set.

Ted likes to sing songs on his guitar. Nashville is a perfect choice.

You haven’t been to Nashville in the last 5 years. Real estate is booming there

Allegiant BNA pilot base.....
 
We beat you to it.

I’m guessing it had to do with some kind of government/tax incentive. Vegas, Detroit, Dallas and Chicago are all bases with no hurricanes and make more sense than Nashville. It has to do with money...

They didn’t even think of the average TORCON in BNA.

Nashville is on the "Smart Grid"..... It doesn't quit.

I second that. I build houses in Chattanooga and we are booming at $190/SqFt on housing being a good deal. Nashville is around 220/sqft. The town is growing like Spirit. Also, I heard we will be getting multiple new gates there so the idea of a central US crew base in BNA isn't as crazy as you think!
