PIT-HOU has been gone too. They axed it in 2020, brought it back over Christmas, then dropped it again. At the same time they seem to have increased frequency to MDW and DEN and brought back STL. I can't quite figure out what the strategy is.

but because of crew shortages they need to streamline routes sending secondary markets through their “ hub” cities like MDW and DEN. Because of volume limits in places like MDW they use secondary airports like STL and MCI for XC routes.

southeest has seasonal service routes when demand is higher.

southwest is operating a more hub spoke system due to reduced flights.
to go west they can route people thru Chicago or denver….if they are going east or SE they can go thru Baltimore or nashville or Orlando.
going through Dallas isn’t necessary
