ID and WY? I don't think Idaho cares, they already have BOI, and I doubt more than a few hundred ID residents would pick JAC over IDA. Wyoming has little political clout.

Perhaps BIL as Billings is a city of over 100,000. FSD and FAR also represent cities of over 100,000 each. Those would also be new states that Southwest would be serving should they elect to go to those cities and would help fill a big hole in their route map. FCA would be great for northwest Montana and the tourists who go to see Glacier National Park plus that area is growing.

I just feel like JAC + FCA could work for leisure travel in 2021 while we still climb out of this pandemic whereas JAC + BZN would compete against one another.

FCA was booming summer-fall 2020. Many 737s a day from Delta, AA, and A320s from UA. I would love to see WN go there from DEN 2x and maybe pick one or two from MDW/LAS/OAK/PHX.

GNP gets a million visitors a month during peak season...don't think WN could make it work from say mid June to early October? I don't see why not with the before mentioned airlines already filling up 737s there and WN's strong domestic leisure network.
