[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 697924, member: 4932"] ONT is the one air hub (besides Louisville, of course) that CAN'T go away. There is no way to make service commitments to and from the west coast without ONT. One last time: the most economical airfeed network is a single, all-points air hub. However, with the distance and time zones involved, the minimum for UPS is two: Louisville, and Ontario, CA. That's why you have seen all the other air hubs shut down or cut way back: the AIRPLANES are the MOST expensive part of the whole shebang, and reducing the number of nodes in the network cuts the most expense out of the network. SORTING costs are the LOWEST cost component of package handling. AIRPLANES are the HIGHEST. To minimize cost, you minimize airplanes. Simple as that. [/QUOTE]
