[QUOTE=dragon;675989]A we’re going to continue growing ATL which is already at 1000 departures per day and we want to keep a footprint in certain markets but will be cancelling unprofitable markets. And 70% of those are the really small ones. “We need to protect Atlanta”. Could be talking about SWA or Citrus.[QUOTE]

I personally think this is ridiculous! Our CR&P folks need to realize there are other hubs besides ATL that they can schedule. Take ONE look at ATL on a day with a Broken deck at 3000 and the PRMs cause 30-45 min delays. Pax get ****ed...miss connections....and their plans are shot. All because everything comes through ATL. If we had our system ops a little more spread out like in the past, or like some other carriers, we could absorb more delays.

I'd like to see MEM grow..become the hub for domestic connections...kind of like the Dom Hub..and ATL be the mostly Intl Hub. But what do I know..I just fly the things and hear the pax complain.
