I wish the snow plow operation at CLE had as much interest in their quality of work....

And not "all" of our hub have competition... CLE & GUM come to mind.
ATL also has a presence of NK, Frontier, Jet Blue, and QATAR amongst others.

Even Emirates if you count Jet Blue's codeshare....

I gotta throw my hat in for BNA. Nashville is growing by 150 people a day. Large airport, centrally located. Good weather most of year.

We have a “south east hub” IAD. IAD is ideally positioned for connecting North-South connecting flow on the East coast. We have another “south east hub” IAH. IAH is positioned to connect Florida and the south to the west and central US.

Our problem isn’t where our hubs are it’s how we run them.

DL carries 75% of all pax through ATL. WN has 9%, AA is 3rd with 2.5%

We have a 375 flights a day out of DEN, WN has 190, F9 has about 70.



I once flew for Cape Air. They moved into SJU and started flying the same places as American. 9K set their prices one dollar higher than AA's, to indicate they were not there to compete, but to catch the overflow traffic. Southwest competes with us in DEN, in ATL they catch DL's overflow.

It would help too if we'd stop running 50 seat RJs into the SE where DAL is flying 757's, like PNS.

Southwest wants a brand new terminal in DEN just for them 400+ departures daily.

I always appreciate an airport where I take an underground train to walk 200 yards back towards where I need to go. Sounds like a hidden gem...
