What makes zero sense? SWA has had bases in HOU and DAL for a long time. If the amount of flying in IAH warrants a base, why wouldn't they open it?

Large College towns. Kids don't want or can't afford perks. A to B that's it. 3 flights a week to our bigger hubs. Wonder what Canada fees there are. Could MSP be a gateway to Canada for us?

MSP is a little far for Canadian traffic. Niagra, Detroit and Plattsburgh handle enough. IF we wanted more Canadian traffic, maybe Bellingham would be the next logical airport.

Phoenix makes the most sense for long term expansion for several reasons. For one, I can drive to work. Secondly it has an airport

Do any of the majors offer health benefits from day 1? I'm asking, because I don't know.

As far as the outside world, most companies have a waiting period anywhere from one month to 90 days.

Maybe Apple Tesla and Google offer full benefits on day one, but most companies don't.

Not saying it's right or wrong, just that it's a fairly standard practice everywhere.

Get in line. I've been waiting for the Orlando base for almost 8 years!

For those wanting the company to acknowledge the holidays, check your email.
