A merger of Delta to Northwest, then United to Continental leaving American to go after Usair what will that do for Philadelphia....American has a hubs in Chicago and Dallas and Florida with heavy penitration and a new terminal at JFK. Usair has 2 hubs in the west and Charl in the south. I do not see how PHL would survive as an international hub with American's presences 90 miles to the north....The only merger of these 6 that might persevre the international hub would be Usair and Northwest.
