Tampa<->Newark please for the following reason:
Use Tampa's existing mini-hub status to connect thru service from other SE cities (New Orleans, Birmingham, Jacksonville, Panama City, Ft. Laud., W. Palm, Biloxi) for one-stop service to Newark. This provides a friendly winter-weather hub for SE cities vs. connecting in Chicago and doesn't force everybody back through a Texas hub which makes the entire trip time too long. Also, could work into your eventual plans for flights to/from Bahamas, from Tampa. ;-)
Thanks and congrats (pending merger)...
