Really? Does moving 100 miles up the road to city with 3 interstates instead of 1 and a nominally larger airport with little in the way of direct flights really make a difference? And since when is moving to stay out of the way of hurricanes ever been an excuse for anyone to move?
The way I see it, you have a CEO with no familial ties to the original company making a strictly personal and subjective decision.

Actually, being in SA will benefit Whataburger greatly.
Standard of living is better - good for employees.
Traveling expenses will vastly be reduced by flying from SAT.
I don't see how one can say that SA's airport is nominally larger than CC's - In 2007 Corpus Christi IA saw a total of 874,961 passengers (enplaned and deplaned) where as in 2006, SAT saw 8,031,045 passengers. For those of you doing the math...that is almost ten times the volume.
I feel bad for Corpus, but it is a good thing for SA.
