PIT like many other former hub cities (MEM, CLE, etc) will probably never be a hub city again. The only reason RAH has a domicile there is because they have some weird thing about crew domiciles being co-located with maintenance bases.

I would say an airport with long runways, plenty of gates, efficient deicing, along with a lot of stores and restaurants that charge outside pricing is a great airport. It's a great place to have a small sit in the middle of a trip with that Rite Aid and a Post Office, as well as some interesting exhibits to look at.

While operations are substantially less than in the mid-90s, the original PIT terminal was a horrible place for a hub in the late 70s/early 80s. Even with the current number of flights in and out of PIT, the previous terminal would be poorly equipped to handle the operations as they are today.
