I'd heard CVG was a landing fee issue also. MCI was also home to a few airlines who are extinct. That decision is above my pay grade. They poo poo'd FLL/MIA because they said they didn't want a big storm taking out two bases...but then in the next breath floated AUS as a possibility....TX doesn't ever have big storms that would impact DAL/AUS/HOU at the same time.....
