I’ll believe it when I start to see actual CVG positions in vacancies. Mainline still does all the ATL flights, DEN, and most of Florida. I don’t think STL, BWI, PHL or the other flights we used to do are coming back. Many of those were on the 200 anyways and they’d have to pay for hotels for all those crews.
CVG is becoming more of a competitive market with Allegiant and Frontier having a large presence. I have a hard time believing Delta is actually making any money in CVG except for connections. O&D business travel is nonexistent now which is why all those other destinations were dropped, and I don’t think the CDG flight is coming back any time soon, if ever.
Really the only reason I see CVG remaining open is management committing the sunk cost fallacy.
