Sure it can, but slots are running out there too
I'm not sure if I should upgrade to level 10 because the monthly costs are nuts. On the west coast I was thinking about Ontario maybe. I think it might steal some pax from the LAX area, but I'm not sure if the game works that way..
Same btw I was preparing to open a base in SFO. I saw it was free and started planning routes. And the next day BAAAM! You took it
Yeah it's a nice trick! That's why I opened a base in San Juan. It gave me 12 regional flights
Feel free to do so! Let me know when and I will stop expanding for a bit!
