NWA AUS-IND?

Anybody know the logic behind Northwest (Pinnacle) operating flights between 2 non-hub cities. For example, AUS - IND?

They were experimenting with making IND a “mini-hub” or focus city.

KIND is listed as a focus city for Pinnacle Airlines.

I’m guessing here…it probably became a focus city when ATA went under to try and fill their void…just a guess mind you. :wink:

It started focusing on IND when ATA was still an operating entity.

MAYBE…they smelled the death in the air and knew ahead of time… :wink:

KBOS-KIND also seemed a bit weird, but it was awful convenient.
