If they want to be an airline that looks more like the other major carriers, which is basically a hub and spoke route system, then you know, they're going to have to be in big places like Atlanta, even if Atlanta is not their hub. They're going to need some hubs," said SMU economist Mike Davis.The president of the union representing Southwest Airlines spoke to FOX 4 News."Southwest Airlines management is failing employees while impacting customers.
