It seems like a large number of their trips start or end with a dead head and sooner or later the company is going to tire of paying that credit. It wouldn't surprise me if the status of CVG ended up being a pawn during C19 negotiations.
Newbie QOL for most who live in Cincinnati is probably better commuting to DTW. I also don't live there, so I could be way off.

I would also take a look at the trips. Very few begin or end with a DH. The current open time has 17 trips. 1 has a DH back to CVG from ATL. The category is very efficient which is why it’s still open and they are replacing pilots when they bid out.
It’s highly likely it will remain open long term.

Re:negotiations pawn...I could see management threatening to shut it down, or offering to keep it open in some quid pro quo. I guess time will tell ...
