Things are good in MEM right now. But remember, in a merger all bets are off.
MSP, DTW, CVG -- all are located close together. Something has to give.
ATL, MEM. Same thing. No way Delta maintains both as hubs.
So....
DTW & ATL are locks to stay post-merger.
MSP - even money. Minnesota politicians could hold up the merger unless they get assurances of a hub.
CVG - shaky
MEM - odd man out, too small, few international routes, WAY too close to ATL SuperHub. MEM closes.
