Sorry, but this is less and less so. The hubs are going away. The only major hubs still around are St. Louis, Chicago, and Atlanta. But the rest are, one by one, fading away. Why? Increased fuel efficiency and range means that flights from, say, New York to asia no longer need to stop at a west coast hub to refuel before humping over the Pacific. Airports on the Pacific Rim that built themselves up based on asian Hub traffic are becoming empty shells. Newer technology is coming online which will only increase this effect. The Boeing Sonic Cruiser promises to make longer runs from smaller runways at faster speeds with greater efficiency. This is not just a pipe dream... this is the very real answer by Boeing to the Airbus A3XX superbus. So while airports used to be hubs, those that remain will be a lonely few.... and will be, increasingly, local servers and not transcontinental hubs.
