So, the desire to ask my question naturally abated.
CVG is probably on the way out, but there is one glimmer of hope for it staying. As we get 100 more 737's, the CVG 737 base, which is also supposedly a mini 737 MX base as well, will likely see more 737 traffic through it. Its hard for anywhere to be a base when mainline flying gets to a certain level
and that flying is shared with 3 or 4 other mainline planes. The MD88 base there is probably gone regardless though. The 737 base has a (less than half) chance of surviving. Just a WAG.
