STL and BNA are apples and oranges. STL handling B and I checks on 757 as well as ground equip refub for system. Deeper business presence in STL. Better financial performance at STL.

STL is a legacy TW major hub, while BNA was an organically grown AA smaller hub.

However, let's remember all those cuts are American Connection which is Trans-States and Chatauqua. On mainline, we had a net gain of 13 f/a bid positions in April--lost 2 75 lines (4 f/as per line), but gained 7 S80 lines (3 f/as per line). For May we had an additional net gain of 10 bid positions (lost 2 more 75 lines, but gained 6 S80 lines).

So, as far as mainline is concerned, STL is growing.
