Sorry, PIT is not coming back.
SpinDoc replies:
Correct. Previous management boned Allegheny County hard in bankruptcy, but there was a lot more to the story than was told. Early on in the BK process, Jerry gl ASS and Neil Cohen devised a plan to get US out of their share of the long term bonds that funded the construction of the midfield terminal. As a bonus, they also identified significant cost savings by dumping the most senior employees in the workforce which included PIT Res, Boeing 737/57/67 MTC, and Pilot Training and simulators. By targeting PIT, they got rid of a ton of liabilities, but they also left a trail of wreckage that can't be easily fixed, so they are not going to try to fix it.
US MUST find a reliever for PHL in order to FIX the operation. PHL regardless of how you rework it and try to fix it without maybe a miracle from above will require funneling traffic to a degree somewhere else (PIT).
SpinDoc replies:
There are not a lot of employees or industry experts who will disagree with you on this, but America Worst management is way too naive and moronic to ever understand that PHL needs a relief valve. PIt would definitely work as a pure connecting hub, but stupidity rules the day.

Houston Chronicle Article
From the article above -
"Continental Airlines is expanding its Cleveland hub by 40 percent over the next two years, with many jets shifting from its congested Newark hub.
The carrier said it will initially add 50 flights, principally on regional jets, and add 20 nonstop destinations by next summer.
Most of the regional jets will come from Continental's Newark hub, and larger aircraft will be used at the New York City-area airport, the carrier said. Newark Liberty International is one of the most congested airports in the country."
My comments-
This is exactly what US needs to do in PHL. Reduce RJ flying and consolidate flights on larger equipment and try to reduce delays.
