[Future Mayor]

9-11 was the largest factor as to why the Airport hasn't been expanded yet. If I am not mistaken the orginal expansion plan called would have had us near completion at this time. As for the hub moving from Salt Lake City to either Vegas or Phoenix I don't expect either one of those to happen either. McCarren in Vegas has pretty much reach it's expansion capacity, there is no additional room for an additional runway and currently has Southwest as its major tenant. As for Phoenix, I wouldn't expect Delta to move a hub their either, with a US Airways hub. Most major airlines sign exclusive agreements with the cities were they have hubs and are not willing to allow another major carrier to be on equal footing with them. There are obviously airports with multiple carriers but those are the exception. As was the case with Delta leaving Dallas. While Dallas is a large airport, they also have American which is based there. Delta would continue to be second fiddle to American. Delwest(Delta/northwest) is and can continue to be the 800 lbs gorilla on the block by retaining SLC as it's hub. They would play second fiddle to US in Phx and SW in LV, despite the fact that they are larger, because both already have the operation agreements in place.
