Newark is New Jersey. You referring to their LGA operation as a hub?

since you aren't sure you understand, let us pivot to WN. They flew to ISP and called it NYC. And OAK and called it SF. And BWI and called it DC. Purposeful - the marketing argument being flying to the larger hubs is inefficient

fast forward and they are now in LGA, SFO and DCA+IAD.

smisek and the HouCrew was a cancer.
