There was only one, small, terminal when Delta began their "Itanicnic" hub expansion, no surprise there will only be one terminal when they leave. It was only there to connect trans-con traffic and because we couldn't compete in ORD with UAL and AA there.

There's not a whole lot of O/D traffic in CVG, it's not exactly Chicago, in terms of banking, business travel or population...oh, and there's no lake, so nobody's going there for summer vacation. In fact, it's not even in Ohio, it's Northern Kentucky.

When I was based there in 1992, the Town Fathers of Northern KY were looking to generate some tax revenue. Delta had just opened their new Hub there, with international flights. They decied they would levy a big fuel tax on the Big D. Ron Allen flew up from ATL and addressed them, re. increased fuel taxes, or any other add on taxes.

In Ron's finest hour, he said to the group, "If you increase the taxes on Delta, we will pull our entire operation out of here and put it in Indianapolis!"

I watched it on the evening news as I sat MD88 reserve in my crashpad in Florence. I was laughing my arse off, but he was right. I was no fan of Ron, but I loved him on that day!
