Hey Luvn- the Phila metro region, METRO REGION, PHL, Trenton, Wilmington De. and all the suburbs dwarfs PHX. Yes, maybe the city limits of PHX hold more than PHL.The overall population draw is much greater. Next time you get that long final in PHL, check it out.I wonder why SWA keeps coming on here? Even Parker gets it.
Population base doesn't mean anything to an airline unless those people fly somewhere. As I said before to BS, PHL is #11 in O&D traffic so it's rank as #5 in MSA population means only that PHL doesn't produce the O&D it should for a MSA it's size (unlike NYC and Washington which DO produce O&D traffic to match their MSA size). So while PHL's MSA population may make a good debating point, that statistic is meaningless from an airline perspective.
I'll say again - PHL was and is the best option for a northeast hub that US had available. That doesn't mean that AA, UA, or CO would see it the same way.

My point is that there is very likely just as many people from the PHL catchment area flying. They are simply flying out of airports in adjacent metro areas.
A lot of airports in close proximity with a large population and congested roads surround by water with tunnels and bridgesMy point is that there is very likely just as many people from the PHL catchment area flying. They are simply flying out of airports in adjacent metro areas. Why? they may find it convenient and continue looking to PHL for further travel needs.
Having grown up in northern NJ, it amazed me that so many folks (displaced New Yorkers) would travel to LGA to go fly, and bypass EWR even for an equivalent flight. Why? Because they had the "LGA is the NY airport" mindset. And back then, little could be done to change it. Better, more effective marketing changed that. That's what PHL needs.

OK I know why they want the topic to be the pilot labor deal. It has the most hits, and therefore the highest price for the side ads. There is only one, and one way to kick this thing off again on the right track. MIKE CLEARY
