Dropping non MCI routes

It looks like Vanguard's finally consolidated down to one hub. For a while it was trying to maintain 'hubs' (as much as such a small airline can) in Pittsburgh, Chicago-Midway and Kansas City.

The following non-stop pairs were dropped
Pittsburgh-Atlanta (pretty quickly)
Pittsburgh-Myrtle Beach (seasonal service before only)
Pittsburgh-Chicago Midway (I bet since AirTran started this route they cant compete anyway)
Chicago-Miday to Minneapolis (Again, AirTran and other fierce competition on this route X'ed this route)

Personally I think this is a good move. However, I know Midwest Express announced MCI is their new target for expansion so it might mean trouble for Vanguard....
