[28 April 2023 2300-0300z] Adopted Red-Tail Hubs FNO
« on: March 28, 2023, 11:14:38 AM »

SLC, MSP, and DTW used to be home, headquarters, and major hubs for other airlines with "red tail" liveries. Over the years, Widget Airlines, through mergers and acquisitions, has taken over these hubs. But are they really "hubs"? Are they "focus cities"? Have they been strictly relegated to "flyover country" status?

Well, the Cleveland, Minneapolis, and Salt Lake City ARTCCs would like to convince you they are indeed hub cities and more than capable of handling the traffic loads associated with such a title. Fly to, from, or between them and enjoy top-notch ATC, and perhaps catch a glimpse of some legacy carrier liveries that will remind you of days of Redtail Glory!
