Not a hub but ops ex LAS are absolutely cooked with MGM and the rest closing.

Even if this only lasts a month (optimistic), Vegas will be destroyed.

Vegas will always find a way to recover.

This may be the sole time in my life I am rooting for "the house".

DFW. 90% of flight come from AA. AA fails good bye Dallas Ft Worth. Goodbye jobs.

May be a bit of an exaggeration. DFW is well-positioned to continue forward as a hub for someone given the population of the metroplex and its geographic location. In the unlikely event AA failed, I could see DL trying to find a way to swoop in and snatch it up. It would fill in a major gap in their network. Probably the only gap in their domestic network.

I suspect the airlines will request and be given antitrust immunity to collaborate on a schedule reduction that will spread the burden.

Well from their notice to employees regarding voluntary leave, they expect the largest impact to be: LAX and LGA

Not to mention the fact they ran a hub at DFW for a few decades

Just because I provided the numbers for CLT before (1400-1600), this is what they look like today (Keep in mind the 26th is as of 1100 AM) :

A clear drop off at the second largest hub
