At this point, complete rumor. Why would a new base be needed? At this point post merger, you will already have bases in BWI, DAL, LAS, MCO, PHX, OAK, and ATL. Why would another base, especially in the Southwest or Florida be needed?

Ummm... Not a chance. If I had to put money on it, I'd put money on the FL MIA flights being way DOWN for the summer and will never recover... And I'd be gaurenteed to win the bet.
