Combined AA/US hub network.
 

Between US/AA there are quite a few hubs through out the network, can anyone see any of them being dehubbed? Ive heard a lot of talk about maybe PHX, what are everyones thoughts?

Also, With JFK and PHL being so close, does AA have enough slots in JFK to even think about replacing it? I would think PHL would be ideal with not having the competition quite like JFK.

MIA and DFW will be sold to Delta.

God I hope so.

So do I !!! :rolleyes:

I cant see PHX maintaining hub status for very long. DFW serves as a much better connect point for domestic traffic. People say that PHX wont survive because of LAX, but I think LAX is too different to even compare.

AA doesnt have a lot of room in JFK to expand in terms of slots. JFK could stay the same as it is today, focusing on O&D international traffic and domestic service to major cities (MIA/LAX). PHL would serve as a good spot to connect smaller northeast cities with the AA network. Think routings like MHT-PHL-DFW, ALB-PHL-MIA.

PHL will never replace JFK as an international gateway.

I doubt that, those are the only reason aa is worth anything.

But that reality ruins the dreams if those who hope to benefit from it at others expense, so don't be a party pooper. ;)

I like what you did there!

PHL International Expansion? The airport would like to displace the UPS facility to a new section on the airport and add a parallel runway. The airport is attempting to use "imminent domain" to confiscate the neighborhood near by. The residents do not want to sell to the airport. The airport will most likely prevail and expand. The additional revenue for the city will not be ignored.

Eminent domain.

Sorry, grammar police

Eminent Domain, thank you.

So new crew base for SKYW or Compass?

Probability if that is about 0. Probability of Eaglefly popping a vein thinking about it, and trying to refute it... maybe... what... 25%?

No, eaglefly already saw this crackpot comment and no veins popped. Probability of Sink r8 dropping a nut should eaglefly not pop a vein appears far greater than 25%. :rolleyes:

Irony Investigator :p

I'm not emotionally invested in your mental or cardiac health. I get no particular gain from your reactions, except entertainment. I'll be OK if you flip out, and I'll be OK if you don't.

If you get no gain from my reactions except for "entertainment", I must be doing something right as you seem to seek it out. :p

You might be getting a little ahead of yourself. I'm not here for the eaglefest. I was only curious about the hub discussion, and couldn't help but chuckle when I saw how fast you jumped on the MIA DFW bait.

Have the last word: you seem to need it more.

Why, thank you. :D

Getting back on subject:

What would be the network implications of an American Airlines and US Airways merger? | anna.aero

Cheers.

One of these is enough don't you think?
