U''s operations at MCI indicate to me everything that is wrong with the company''s route structure. Why is, ostensibly, a major airline offering B19 feeder service to what, all history aside, is not and will never be a hub?
If cities like OMA can''t support mainline service to U hubs, what''s the point of offering 2 OMA-MCI flights? That''s not much of an O/D route, and traveling OMA-MCI-PHL/CLT/PIT-XXX is not really attractive or efficient.
Is there any evidence to suggest that real potential exists for revenue high enough to support U service to more than just PHL/PIT/CLT? If I am way off on this, I''d like to learn.
