What are your thoughts? It seems to me that operating out of DFW as a HUB could be a lot more efficient for Delta as compared to operating out of ATL.
Some reasons:
1. Any (small shower) weather in ATL seems to affect departing and arriving traffic all the time. Seems like you just can't leave or arrive on time. All this causes significant reduction in reliable air-travel for ATL pax. DFW never really seemed to have that much trouble handling traffic. DFW weather is VFR 90% of time.
2. For Domestic Ops DFW would be more attractive as a HUB as it is centrally located so one can cover East and West Coast flying from this central point which should save on fuel expenditures.
These two points seem like important factors to me.
