There 'tis; the rationalization that dictates a major metropolitan area is back woods.

There is the 'airline world', where CLE has been losing it's hub status for years, and then there is the real world- the one where a metro area of over 2 million people is not exactly small town. It's this type of 'thinking' that results in the increasingly less precise decisions that will make the pilot pay/population shortage impossible to ignore.
