From this list, the only adds I see are MSY, PHX, CHS, and SAN. The rest were too reliant on connecting traffic. OneJet isn't able to make PIT work, so I don't see DL having any better luck. It's just too drive-able.

Yep, but that was already posted/discussed in this thread several weeks ago -- https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showpost.php?p=29230436&postcount=505

As someone said there is P&G and now GE moved its headquarters to Boston. There is plenty of corporate traffic.

It looks like starting 04NOV, DL is restarting CVG-PHX with a daily 738.
DL 341 CVG-PHX 0730-0930
DL 342 PHX-CVG 1700-1105

Adjusting it a few hours each way would allow for connections. I don't think they can fill a 738 on O/D alone. They are going to need some connecting traffic to make it successful. Otherwise an E175 might be a better fit.

CVG-RSW also returns to year-round service and TPA gets a second flight.
It looks like there will be upgrades to cities like RDU,BWI,STL... Hopefully with the C SERIES now back on schedule for delivery it will allow for CR7/9 and E-175 to takeover some CVG markets. Each route IMO needs at least two flights to cover O/D on both ends. It would also be nice to relieve some of the stress on ATL.

Glad to see that more Saturday service is coming back. I think CVG could potentially get back above 100 daily flights if this trend continues. Especially once the CS100s start replacing RJs.

CVG is essentially a MEM or MSY on a weekend. Hubs and that's it for the most part.
