F9/NK Merger effect on the Region
Assuming the F9/NK merger is approved, how do you think that will impact regional airport operations and fares?
Personally, I see them consolidating all their ops (and expanding) at BWI and selling their DCA slots. If they were to sell them, I could see them:
1x WN: DCA-DEN
1x AS: DCA-SAN
1x AA: DCA-AUS
Any thoughts here?

BWI being a mega-hub is of course foreseeable but they are unlikely to move out of DCA.
If BWI-DEN was a profitable route Spirit wouldn't have stopped flying, thus Frontier would have more frequencies at this time.

No effect in DC area. Frontier doesn't fly to IAD and with 2-3 daily flights out of DCA it's hardly any competition.
As for BWI, I also don't think that Southwest has anything to fear. Spirit / Frontier being bottom feeders, you have to be really desperate to fly them.
