Any USAir guys living in CLT? Not for long..thanks Parker
So, some of you USAir guys actually want this thing to happen? Time to move then.....
Of all the U.S. carriers, US Airways has the most overlap with Delta, and the situation is particularly acute in the Southeast, Bell said. "You look at the traffic flows over those two hubs, it is almost an identical overlay," he says. "There are only a handful of routes available on [Charlotte] and not [Atlanta] . The concentration could make the federal government say 'Charlotte has to go.'"
For a combined Delta and US Airways, a hub divestiture would have pluses and minuses. On the negative side, "You introduce a competitor, someone who would set up shop competing against the operation in Atlanta," Klevorn said. As an offset, the combined carrier would shed costs. "A hub is a big cost item for an airline, not just another city you fly into," Salerno said. "You don't want multiple cost centers that are unnecessary in the same area."
Wow, I have been saying that the whole time. But no, everyone should follow Parker's lead.......
Don't worry, if push comes to shove we will merge with NWA anyway. And, Dalpa is committed to shutting this one down regardless. So, USAir guys, don't put your house up for sale yet......
When this is all over and Parker does lose, he will also have lost the respect and loyalty of the City of Charlotte, and the people based there. Way to go Dougie!!
Bye Bye--General Lee
