The airlines, I think, would be ecstatic about this. They've been losing their ass for years on short-hop flights like Detroit-to-Cleveland. I'm sure the airlines would rather focus on the money-making long-haul flights than getting people from every piss-ant little town into their hubs.

Speaking of which, Kasich's declaration is even more ballsy and ignorant when you consider that Cincinnati has lost its Delta hub since the merger with Northwest, and Cleveland stands to go the same route since the merger of Continental and United. So you'd have a state of over 11 million people with no hub airport, and no other choice than to get across the state by car. Good work!
Kasich and this other guy have teamed up to reinvent some beat-up old thing called Lack-o-Vision...
