For an airline I read "as soon as" to be within a year. Now that both GIG and GRU are gone, what's next? My bet is that only the OW hubs and perhaps FRA will remain as year round TATL destinations from CLT.
This will leave CLT as something similar to what MSP is for DL, a dominant domestic regional hub with a handful of international destinations.
