It appears that Delta services the airport with mainline jets rather than only express service back to hubs.
Delta has non-stop service to Orlando, LaGuardia, and Washington, DC, besides service to Atlanta and Cincinnati (hubs).

Good post. Let's hope your survivor total isn't as accurate as your original post...
Well it has been close to 5 years since a commercial airliner has crashed. I knew we were long over due for one.

FoxNews Alert:
More than 50 were onboard and probably killed.
Was a 'regional jet'.
Storms in area, so weather may have been a factor.
