He’ll be getting a visit from the Feds if he hasn’t already.

I don't know how true that is, but he'll definitely be getting a visit from the feds either way.

Folks like that very much get on my nerves. It's dangerous, inconsiderate, and generally makes life worse for everyone. I hope the operator faces the full consequences of their actions. X(
Sounds like we are getting new routes tomorrow

In theory there would be room for Lufthansa, if they wanted to go to 5x a week, to fit in a turn also with most flights pushed after 5 pm.

In March 2023, Southwest scheduled a total of 712 flights each week. In comparison, the airline next March will increase their scheduled flights by 119 for a total of 831 weekly. The airline, that same month, will increase their non-stop service originating from STL to a total of 53 markets. Currently, the airline has just under 58 percent (57.7) of the market share of STL’s enplaned passengers.

Southwest's commitment to growing St. Louis' (hub) and connection operations is continuing and consistent with their rhetoric. Showing that the STL operations, connections and (O&D) passenger growth is strong.
STL's projected spring 2024 growth in new service, new and expanded international service, and additional service was the third largest increase in the system. Only DEN and BWI will have larger service increases.
Across state, seasonal service is returning for MCI with +15 weekday increase flights and +24 weekend seasonal service. Slower and less increases, I am sure, KC was hoping for with their new single terminal airport. Just south, BNA has just 1 returning seasonal service and no new service or increased frequencies.
Recently, I spoke to a SWA pilot's wife that has her husband stationed out of DAL but was told by the airline it plans to open a STL crew operating base in 2024. Hearsay but seems rational and from a source that seems legit and reputable.

I was going to postulate that a crew base would be coming if they kept this up.

Checking the current WN bases:
Los Angeles, Orlando, Phoenix, Oakland, Houston, Dallas, Baltimore, Denver, Chicago, Las Vegas, and Atlanta.
And the top 10 WN markets:
Los Angeles, Orlando, Phoenix, Oakland, Houston, Dallas, Baltimore, Denver, Chicago, Las Vegas, and Atlanta.
And the top 10 WN markets:

Latest update we are ahead of Atlanta. Not sure on Orlando. I think we flux between 9-12 depending on the month. We stay pretty steady on flights but the Florida airports flux a ton.pdm_ad wrote: ↑Aug 04, 2023Checking the current WN bases:

After doing a quick search, I don't see their next 5-10 markets but I would presume we fall in that range?

Oakland and LA are way down at the moment.

^ Thanks!
Seems like BNA and STL are the obvious choices for new crew bases, if # of flights is the primary consideration.
When they open these bases, are they staffed with both pilots and FAs? Or, do they have FA only bases?

Both.
They have done a few satellite bases that were only FAs temporarily, but I’m not sure they have anymore.
Over on KCRag, someone posted that the master plan shows WN using 22 gates. I believe they are at 17 now, I wonder if they will try and build out a couple more in the old D concourse until the new terminal comes online.
They’re referencing a post on Airliners which quoted the master plan document from last year. It said that Southwest expected to have 22 gates by 2040.pdm_ad wrote:Over on KCRag, someone posted that the master plan shows WN using 22 gates.

Read to me as a future looking planning doc and less so any type of firm commitment.
They are going to redo D anyway for airlines to move over from A. When demo starts
The 2023 Master Plan documents on the airport website are required for FAA approval. Which was received.
They are not any sort of finalized plan for a new terminal...more of a guiding document for the next 10 years or so. Airline negotiations are ongoing, environmental is just now starting and architectural design won't begin until next year. Outside of the broad strokes we don't really know what this thing is going to look like just yet.

True, I was hoping that WN continues to expand it's footprint in the immediate future.jshank83 wrote: ↑Aug 08, 2023They are going to redo D anyway for airlines to move over from A.

I've been following the KC airport thread while their new terminal was built and opened just to get an idea of what we could be dealing with and it's been amusing reading the comments about how they would surely have TATL service once the new terminal opened and that they would be able to steal WN service away from or grow at the expense of STL. It's still early on but, as we've seen, neither of those predictions have come to fruition and the posters there are starting to sour on their airport leadership.
Surprise population and the amount of economic activity and tourism also matter in getting flights in addition to airport facilities.
