I loved PIT because of its wonderful Airmall and other benefits--I did not mind a layover there, because I had things I could do.

Certainly agree based on airports, but even with the problems at PHL, the difference in O/D market size is probably too great to ignore. (PHL metro area = 6.1 million in 2000; PIT metro area = 2.4 million)

I was reading a little about is else where I believe that they or 3 or 4. US was one of the few that carried over a million people last year out of BWI. They didnt break it down but for the top 2 airlines.
AirTrain was 2 with 2.1 Million
Southwest was 1 with 10.7 million
Thanks to JetBlue and Airtran I have been able to start flying out of RIC instead of making the 2.5 hour journey to BWI. The arrival of those two in RIC has made it the #1 airline in RIC. Amazing that two low fare carriers make another legacy airline better or cheaper if you like. Delta use to be #1 at RIC for years but they arent as price competitive as US has been here.

They're not even in the top 5 at BWI anymore.

You have to watch one thing with the BTS info - they show everything by certificated carrier so US and HP are still considered separate airlines (as are each of the Express carriers).
