My father was initially employed by Western Airlines in 1986, later bought out by Delta, as we all know, in 1987. He retired after 20 years. Being a son of flight benefits, I remember Delta always having three major hubs; Atlanta, Cincinnati, and SLC.
Now, Delta has major hubs overseas and across the eastern seaboard. With the loss of Memphis as a major hub, that leaves SLC as the only major hub in North America west of the Mississippi to the world's largest airline.
My question is this: SLC International has no where to go but up... Right?
Additional flights, connections both international and domestic?
I'd hate to see SLC Airport turn into Memphis (which is THE hub for FedEx).
