Delta to scrap Memphis hub, cut flights and 230 workers
June 4 (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines Inc said on Tuesday that it plans to scrap its Memphis, Tennessee, hub in September, cutting 230 jobs and scaling back flights to make the location profitable. Delta plans to drop to about 60 flights a day in September from almost 300 daily flights when Memphis was a hub for Northwest Airlines, which was bought by Delta in 2008.

How can they claim it's not making money? Every time I flew there it was a minimum of $600. Just admit its too close to ATL.
I'm surprised it lasted this long. They've been axing it little by little for years.
I remember after the last round of cuts, they said something to the effect of, "There aren't enough passengers originating in Memphis to keep it sustainable." So, what is Atlanta? You can't BS me saying 75% of the people on flights to/from ATL are from the area...

How long till FedEx Express starts putting 4 rows of seats in their freighters and auctions off the "supernumeraries" to the higest bidder?
they left us out to dry in Cincinnati the same way.
If SWA was really smart they would make MEM a focus city because MEM is in a prime location of the country.
SWA already has made BNA a focus city...Too close for that.
