...and what would happen with a staffing/computer/work/contract, etc.. issue do in CLT? 30 flights a day? Try over 100 flights a day!
30 flights a day is not a big deal and AAG would have no concerns having a single carrier do that much flying out of a city. Look at the amount of lift that single regionals provide out of other cities.
The truth is, CVG is a huge market and AAG can make money there. They can use it as a starting point to provide flying out of DCA, IND, and ORD. The rent is cheap, and the airport is welcoming AAG and PSA. There are facilities there, and it is a fairly decent place to commute to/from. With the added flying that PSA will be doing, CVG will be a one leg commute from dozens of major cities.
Also, AAG wants to start using the 900's as a platform for longer flights (thus the introduction of the meal service). Expect 3-3.5 hour flights out of CVG on 900's.
