New Orleans - 2 mainline flights (old route, brought back)
San Antonio - 3 connection flights (old route, brought back)
Tampa, Fla. - 2 mainline flights (new route)
Wichita, Kan. - 3 connection flights (new route)

That gives us 9 mainline flights; 19 Connection flights. I would expect some of the new mainline flights would be from current mainline cities out of DFW (SEA, SFO, LAX, SAN, LAS, BOS, LGA, MCO) all picking up at least one frequency on mainline to SLC...probably for a total of another 10 frequencies (I wouldn't be shocked if some of the 737-800s became 757s on these routes to add more capacity).
