No, that is a different issue. They have to keep the hub because of the DOJ settlement, and before I guess they thought it was economically feasible. The PHX hub did make some marginal or unprofitable east flying profitable. But my point is that the flying there has been artificially high because of the TA and the MOU, not because of east manager favoritism.

This whole idea that Parker and Kirby were so stupid that they let two east flight managers schedule the whole airline just to favor the east pilots is beyond absurd.
