I would have figured Frontier or Spirit would try it atleast for this summer. Frontier once operated it 10 years ago.

Frontier, Southwest, Delta, United and Virgin all attempted the route at one point.

Alaska, JetBlue and Spirit haven't yet.

I think Southwest wants PHL pax to connect or use BWI, like how United wants PHL pax to connect or use EWR. Delta tried the route before Virgin (as mentioned) but it likely has other strategic needs for the aircraft like Southwest and United.
