They only have a limited number of planes...

Started new deliveries after a multi-year lull in 2014(?) or 2015.

Adding Hawaii flights. And LAS.

Based upon their thorough internal analysis (dartboard ), AUS must not bubble up to the top xx places they are able to serve, and make money serving.

They only had AUS before because of planes sitting on the ground with nothing to do (in DAL). LAS eliminates that problem.
