Considering ASA/CMR/SKY/CHQ will no longer serve DFW, there's a bevvy of jobs evaporated right there. We only had like 50 mainline departures and most of those frequencies went to SLC and ATL and a couple at CVG.

Having a hub requires an enormous support network. Even though we were 'small fries' in DFW, I think we employed about 3,000 people there that really haven't any other place to go.

After we shifted to a smaller gauge aircraft in the DFW market, even our CEO surprisingly admitted that American cleaned our clocks. I only know about the PHX/DFW city pair where I'd see a lot of the people I'd see that regularly flew Delta over in the AA concourse or in line with me at America west when we 'down gauged' a lot of our markets. Getting to work started to suck royally so I 'bunted' and bid ATL.
