Result of dropping BWI and Florida, replacing with MDW. Interestingly, United's FNT-ORD traffic is up 23.8%.

WN also had a FNT-LAS flight that was dropped.
UA added a daily FNT-EWR flight last September which is not mentioned in the article. The year-to-date traffic numbers for UA most likely includes both ORD and EWR flights, so it is not an apples-to-apples comparison. Apparently, it was not terribly successful as they will be dropping the FNT-EWR flight in May.

I wonder if a pullout from FNT would be timed to coincide with a service increase at DTW (or GRR).
They announced new/increased service at CVG and CLE to coincide with the closures of DAY and CAK.
