Ifly does have a limited presence. Airtran was there and pulled out when DL matched them. Then you have UA, CO and NW and a limited AA presence.
The BIG winner here is DL. There are almost hourly mainline flights to ATL and every other hour or so to CVG. In addition there are lots of Barbie Jets to other locations. My guess is DL has doubled the seats out of GSO in the last year, all while US was shrinking.
The only reason I can give you is they wanted to spank at least one cockroach.
It is they only reason that can make any sense
