Reminds me of "Carmageddon" this past summer in LA when they closed the 405 for construction and everybody freaked out and stayed home. Best day to drive in LA EVER.

No Kidding, I got to work 2 hours early...after I took the scenic route through downtown.

My first thought was: Awesome!

Then my second thought was: Chiquita Bananas or Chiquita Airline?!?

Every weekend should be Carmageddon. A close second is when all the illegals protest immigration policies and stay home from work and school. You can zip around pretty good on those days too. Other than that, LA traffic absolutely blows. I got called for a GS last month and the scheduler asked me if I could be at SNA in 45 minutes....."uh, no. 2 hours at a minimum."

Scheduler: "So you're saying you're not in a position to report?"

Me: "No, I'm saying that its Friday night in Southern California. It will take me at least two hours...."

Scheduler: "Never mind."

Why was Chiquita ever in Cincy in the first place? Doesn't that sound a bit odd? Florida, maybe. Ohio?

Cincinnati has more Fortune 500 companies per capita than any other city in the US. Now that DAL has pulled down the hub, those businesses are going to leave.

Very true. There are truckers up there making well over a 100K a year transporting oil everywhere. This was the temporary fix until they built the pipeline, but apparently the current administration blocked it. Looks like these jobs and there pay are here to stay for some time.

Those companies and their corporate contracts are what keeps DAL there, a pilot base there, and Delta Air Elite in business. If the corporations would guarantee a little more money to DAL, they would get those two international destinations back that they want to, but until them, it will be a two legger for them.

As soon as those corporations balk on their corporate accounts, I bet we close CVG very quickly.
