ACL65,

The revenue numbers for several hub cities were just posted on Aviation Planning. Here's Boyd's numbers for Year to Year declines and remember, we were already pretty deep into this recession last year (not airline specific):

LAX $220.88 $190.73 -13.6%
LAS $170.08 $151.65 -10.8%
MCO $158.20 $143.87 -9.1%
ORD $202.45 $176.43 -12.9%
ATL $199.41 $166.29 -16.6%
DEN $180.78 $157.07 -13.1%
SEA $204.70 $178.16 -13.0%
SFO $235.43 $188.92 -19.8%

I'd recommend Law School for payback on your investment. Business school just isn't as useful, but the MBA is a lot more convenient to get.

I hope Delta pulls out better numbers than United and US Air, but thus far we've not been profitable (or hiring) since the "go it alone" strategy was abandoned.

Post merger hiring would be a real sign that this synergistic "happy talk" actually has some basis in fact.
