I've briefly talked with someone at MWAA, who said that they'd met with Arlington about "the red bikes" at some point last year. A station there would benefit not just air travelers but also airport and airline employees, and it would be a bicycle amenity that few other U.S. cities could replicate. (YTZ, Toronto's downtown airport, has a bike share station at its main access gate.)
For now, I often CaBi over to Crystal Drive and walk back to the airport via the tunnel or Airport Access Road bridge. That adds another 20+ minutes to the trip vs. just having a CaBi station at the airport.
If you're also keen on getting a station at DCA, make sure you note it on the CaBi Crowdsourcing Map. There are four DCA locations pinned there; I recently added two that are away from the terminals, but along easy-to-follow access routes to the trail and in locations that are currently not serving anyone. MWAA may have been concerned about slow CaBis mingling with speeding cabs along the access roads, and keeping the CaBi stations closer to the MVT may prevent that scenario.

I once survived a conference in Providence thanks to their banana-espresso shakes. Hope this location will have the same!
