The reason for my question is, would UA benefit from an attempted build-up in MEM creating a (sorta kinda) Southeastern hub?
I assume that Republic thought this would make a nice Southern hub in a city that wasn't already taken (ATL, CLT, DFW, IAH).

Why would UA want MEM when it has a huge operation at IAH which has a much larger O&D market.
