what airline?
Delta (he's based in salt lake and listed delta hubs)

But, is CVG still hanging in there as a hub?

lax isn't a delta hub

technically it is. and also i believe they just opened/remodeled (or will very soon) a new terminal for delta
technicalities aside, terminal 5 sucks.

I always thought it was a delta hub. I guess it technically isn't!

Will not count, but I would guess LAX has more Delta destinations than MEM and CVG

"hub" qualifiers according to mocat:

1. can you fly directly there from pud airport like MCI?

2. are there normally scheduled layovers there?

I don't understand the whole hub thing. I think it may have something to do with getting people from one plane to another. But Memphis was considered a Delta hub until 2013.

I went ahead and read about it. Hubs are determined by number of transfers.

Should be a good game versus Louisville. I'd offer to buy a beer but I'll be in Gatlinburg for the holiday weekend.

Make sure to visit West 6th Brewery.

I've never skied before. Ms. wacky and I fly into Denver and then we drive to Breck to check out wedding venues and then we're staying with a friend out there. We'll be there from Saturday till late Monday afternoon. Is it worth burning a day of skiing when you've never been? Won't I be on my ass all day anyways, trying to learn how? I'm already like a deer on ice, guys?!!!!
