The only city in the west I could see them add for RSW is LAX. There is just not enough demand anywhere in the west for direct service. They do seat to do really well on the NorthEast to RSW service, so I think you will continue to see more of that. Maybe there will be some service to the Caribbean also.
As for where they can go in midwest, it's really hard to see any good options. They have too little gate/counter space at ORD to do anything. I suggested CLE or PIT because there is space and they are relatively underserved. Hard to think of where else would be good in the middle of the country. There are not too many cities out there that have demand and not a large WN/legacy presence.
