CNBC said this morning that MEM may grow. At first it did not make sense too me until I landed in GNV( gainesville, fl) NWA cut service MEM GNV a year ago. DL can not grow ATL, with flights to GNV. So they could off load some domstic connections to MEM to add more international flights via ATL. Switch 2 of 5 flights to MEM and ATL has lots of room to grow, and MEM gets bigger. Only issue is MEM gets lots of RJs and flights to smaller cities.
