And yet the two tiny clubs at their second-largest hub in Charlotte are hopelessly overrun and crowded, with the C/D club desperately needing an upgrade. Sigh.
Fortress hubs arent always on the top of the list. CLT is lower yielding connecting traffic, they're not competing that hard for it.
That's why ORD, LAX and JFK got FLs first. DFW lagged them and PHL is still not done.
