US Airways to Add Florida Hub

US Airways Group Inc. on Monday will announce the establishment of a new mini-hub in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in a major strategic move to build on what is increasingly its biggest strength, its Caribbean route system.

Looks like the first hub for "Bama Air" ... right, Dave?

Believe it or not, the rumor is that this FLL thing will be announced tomorrow for February 2005 start. Hard to believe that they would announce it in the midst of what else is going on...

Hey do I get anything for starting this thread now that it's come true? I think I deserve a prize of some sort!

That's the headline of the article, not my words.

I agree it is a very small hub. There are two 10-12 plane banks, however, so it is more of a hub than LGA or Boston are (they are unbanked).
