Rampantfox, Yes you are correct in saying you still need to build bases to get your old route count back, but that's unavoidable once you expand and need reputation points to grow bigger as an airline past 50ReP. that's correct but the new system should be a net gain in routes once you're fully expanded. It's a motivation to move out and expand beyond a single area, plus multiple hubs increase traffic through transient demand by a ton anyway. It's more of a balance update to make different approaches for different airlines serving different sized countries more viable. It does however put more emphasis on managing another aspect of your airline and planning out expansions will go a long way.
It seems that your airline has room for 4 more bases as it stands and is on the edge of 5. If you're worried about cost, you can just drop the non-essential bases that you need for new routes in no name cities for low cost, and then reallocate them later as you see fit. It's a bit of a financial burden for small airlines, but it's no more than maybe 1->15 million depending on airport size and country income level.
