Probably what will happen to CLE once CO and UA merge. Small market, too close to ORD....
MEM has almost always been profitable. It may not have the international routes and tremendous volume as compared to DTW and MSP but with short taxi times, little competition on routes, and rare deicing the costs are low-revenue is high. Still have a feeling MEM will get the axe though even as I am a memphian based and living in mem. Fedex would love to truly have "fedex international" and not compete for slots during the day.
