First to get the reference won't be furloughed.
You make for fine reading but no way is ATL right sized to move international ops to MSP! Are you from there and wishfully thinking? I think it was your "bye bye ATL" comment that engendered the dismissive responses. Anywho, I think CVG and MEM would be in more jeopardy.
Yep, sorry for fueling the fire. Had to get the show started. Never said move Int'l ops to MSP. My comment was in reference to the fact that MSP and DET can hold their own as far as Int'l ops is concerned. Besides, NWA has route authority to China from MSP and DET, can't just pick it up and move it to ATL. NWA isn't a small player that has nothing to bring to the table. Besides, the constant reference to ATL as the busiest hub is in reference to departures. According to records, DCI represents more departures than mainline. So, are all those RJ's needed to feed one hub when there are other hubs that are lucrative to the new entity? If so, then ATL will be "right-sized". Sorry for the bye bye comment. I'll be more sensitive for the audience in the future.
