SEA in the summer, DEN in the winter type of thing. Their SEA-CMH service could have been a great alternative to SEA-East Coast travelers. HP is somewhere between low-cost and full-service. They created a nice niche for themselves. I understand their business decision, but I am guessing DL is making good money with the CMH operation now >> I like HP's idea as well, but I wish I would stop hearing complaints about the shape of their planes. I have full confidence in their flight crews, as I know a few of them, but I will never think of them the same after all the stuff I hear about rickety planes. I also think that the reason they could not make CMH work was that they did not put enough effort into it. Considering that US has made CLT into a much better hub than their original home town says something about using smaller cities with success. HP should have gone full bore or not at all
