I can't believe they have kept MEM-LIT for so long. It should have been cut a long time ago. For years people have driven from Memphis to Little Rock due to cheaper air fares and then connect back through MEM. Delta's reasoning for cutting IND-CVG was that people drove to IND and connected back through CVG. Why don't they follow the same logic for MEM-LIT?

Anyway, it won't be too long before the spoke cities are gone. Southwest will be taking over the Airtran operation in Memphis next year and I'm guessing that will be Delta's cue to abandon the hub. I can only see Delta keeping service to the hubs and maybe LGA.
