I've heard the term "soft slots" in the NY area. I didn't know why until I read this.
Who knows? They could scale down PHL and ramp up both NY and BOS.
PHL is a very large, important city, with a reasonable cost of operating, and there is currently a fortress hub there.
Why would anyone give that up? Especially to build up an airport where you can't even add flights (JFK - slots) or really connect anyone (BOS - too far out of the way), both of which have very strong competition in all markets?
