I've always thought that routes like CVG, MEM, and others that are either DL hubs or focus cities serve as kind of a tell in regards to DL's future plans here.
In the short term, I don't think there's enough O/D market for DL's relatively higher-end product, but plenty of room for the ULCC's to make a bit of money on less-than-daily service.
But if AUS may mean something more to DL in the medium- and longer-term, then CVG-AUS and similar routes may be the first in a series of events that would be exciting to watch!
