ATL is a low cost hub that DAL dominates to an extent that we don't come close to at our own high cost hubs. There are also no nearby surrounding airports to compete with ATL. ATL is a hub with a moat around it for DAL.
It will be interesting to see if this top to bottom review Oscar is talking about will mean significant changes to our overall hub structure.
