re: #595 ipsos

I can’t realistically imagine Delta removing its hub from Atlanta. If I’m going south from western New York, I’m not going to be doing it through MSP or Denver and adding multiple hours and potential bad-weather delays to my trip.

But its corporate headquarters? Those don’t have to be in the same city as the hub, and that is a lever Delta could use against the morons running Georgia right now.

Nashville, Charlotte, Louisville, and Jacksonville are all locations in the region that would accomplish the same goal as Atlanta. Not sure how the airports there are, and whether they’d be able to support a hub, but I’m guessing the state and local governments there would be all about the infrastructure investment, development, and jobs that would come with a Delta hub move.
