PIT most definitely is a ghost town. I don't think I've ever been delayed there. Ever. The airport is pretty empty at pretty much any time of the day.

Walk the terminals (except around the SWA gates) and you won't see anyone. The story I heard is that US Air pulled out when the airport raised their pax fees. When US Air left, the airport board was like WTF? and drastically lowered their fees to get more airlines interested. That's when SWA and Jetblue swept in.

I have heard US Air wants to put a little more flying back there. I believe the Republic 175's will be based there.
