DL/NWA will downsize CVG as much as they can, but will keep enough flights to keep out the LCC competition. If they let SWA in, CVG is dead for DL.
I have been pretty sure DL's future plans for Comair were outside of CVG.
CVG is not a very big O&D city. Do you see a lot of husbands saying to their wife "Hey, let's get crazy this weekend, screw Vegas, let's go to Cinci!"??
Southwest had their chance to build up another city that was similar in size (maybe even a bit bigger) and has plenty of terminal space at a fairly new airport, but didn't do it----Pittsburgh. Yes, they fly there, but after USAir left there was plenty of space to build up a big hub, and they did not do it because the town itself.
As far as Comair, well, I think DTW will be your future expansion.
