Hub and spoke has long been known as the most efficeint way to move the maximum amount cargo (either self loading or freight) from A to B. I doubt many people fly from Bangor, ME to Jacksonville, NC but using the hub and spoke system an airline/package company can serve both those destinations. It actually makes a lot of sense, even SWA uses a mini hub and spoke system. It just needs better implementation at this point.
