"Hubs in PHX, SEA, and BOS."
Why? That makes it very hard for people traveling from the mountain states to anywhere in the Central timezone or the southeast. For example, going from PHX, SLC, DEN, ABQ, etc. to ORD, STL, CLE, MCO, ATL, MIA, etc. is a real bitch based on your layout.

Good topic!
If I had an airline, I would have ORD LHR and HKG as my main hubs. I would do this because you then have the ability to basically fly my airline from anywhere to anywhere; no matter if you are in Asia, America, or Europe.
Putting all financial and political restrictions aside; I think this would be cool!

Name= Seminole Airways
Hubs= Miami, Atlanta, Los Angeles
Intra Florida= ERJ190/5 with larger planes for TPA/MCO-MIA TPA/MCO-FLL
I would guarantee service to Pensacola, Ft. Walton Beach, TLH, JAX, Daytona Beach, MCO,TPA,RSW, PBI,FLL and last but not least Gainesville(YUK).
Central + Northern South American and Caribbeean - Airbus 320/1. And for heavy seasons I would B763.
-Needless to say I would provide inexpensive travel to/from the United States unlike some other carriers (AA)
South America- A330 or B777
Europa-B747400 or B777 or A330
Asia- A340600 or B747400
Intra USA- EMB 190/5 A320/1
-I have long thought of an airline that would connect all state capitals and not swindle people attempting to fly to them...(no 600 to fly to Lansing, MI is not cheap). Anywho... I hope this is found interesting.

The reincarnated TWA would have a hub in STL, providing quick and easy connections from the East to the West and vice-versa. Small focus cities in Greensboro and Reno for intra-east and intra-west travel, respectively. TWA's fleet of Magic 80's (MD-80) would offer leather seating in coach with drop-down LCD screens and PTV's in Ambassador Class. The aircraft would be in the same scheme as the latest TWA scheme, with the titles "Lindbergh Line" near the cockpit window.
Later, the airline will begin trans-Atlantic travel. Instead of connecting in the US, however, passengers will be feed into MUC using the 763 aircraft, maybe the 7E7 in years to come. In MUC, passengers will board MD-80s to CDG, FCO, LGW, FRA, MXP and so on and so forth.

A Latin American One-Class Low-Cost Carrier.
Point-to-Point with larger operations at COR, MAO, and BOG
The airline would need to use airports such as EZE, GRU, and GIG for heavy domestic ops as well as international ops.
The aircraft should be kept simple.
332s(Perhaps 10) to fly point-to-point from large cities to Europe and the USA
772ERs(4) to fly to and from Asia(Seoul, Narita, Shanghai) through LAX from Sao Paulo, Rio De Janeiro, and Buenos Aires.
738s(With Winglets) for heavier and shorter routes.
73Gs(With Winglets) for longer and lighter routes.
DH3s for local routes(EZE-MDQ, VVI-SRE).
The goal of the airline(Other than to make money) would be to offer higher frequencies and lower fares to much of Latin America, and with that perhaps integrate Latin America further. It could also help make Latin America more inviting to hesitant tourists.

Name: Trans-American Airlines
Hubs: JFK (main trans-atlantic gateway, headquarters), MSP (main domestic hub, would hopefully force NW to lower their ridiculous fares out of there), SJU (main Latin American hub), HNL (main Pacific Rim hub)
Aircraft:
E170: used to cherry-pick point to point routes throughout the United States, all would be based at non-hubs
A319LR: used for all hubbed domestic flights, as well as transatlantic flights that can reach from JFK, all Latin American flights from SJU, and inbound HNL flights from smaller cities to connect to Asian-bound aircraft, based at MSP, JFK, SJU, and HNL
A330-200: used for all flights HNL-Pacific, and JFK-Europe/Africa (all JFK-Africa flights would be techstop flights, such as, for example, JFK-LOS-CPT), and would also be used on other high demand routes out of JFK such as JFK-NRT

European Airlines (a bit greedy)
some longaul point-point, but the main hubs are
LHR - step aside BA! worldwide services, but primarily for connections to n.america from europe.
LIS - primarily for s.american services with connections to europe and a small worldwide network using small widebodies planes eg 763, 332
ATH - primarily for non-stop Australia (using a345's and that mysterious a340-8000 which was never mass produced) flights and connections to Europe, again with a small worldwide network using small widebodies ei 763, 332
GEN - a mini hub for those high business class pax, kerrching!!!
plus its a beautiful city and everyone should go there.
and the planes
A318/9/20 - for inter euro routes eg LHR-LYO
A319LR for low yield transatlantic routes eg LIS-BOS
752-for inter euro routes eg LHR-ATH
762ER 763ER- Long range low yield LIS-EWK
A332 A333 - 8-10 hour max flights LHR-DFW
A343 LongRange mid yield eg GEN-SIN
A345 and A340-8000 Ultra long Range ATH-SYD
777-200/300 (not ER for better F/E) 8-10 hour max flights high yield LHR-JFK

Airline name: Clyde Airlines
Aircraft: 737-300, 700, 800 & 752, 762, 763, 764 also also rj's
hub's GLA, LGW, Berlin and Seville
My airline would be bassed in GLA with matinance HQ etc. The aircraft will have leather seats, ptv's with live tv eurosport and bbc world etc. there will also be internet access avalible at extra cost. food will also be avalible at extra cost. Like ryanair the seats wil not have pockets. for quick turn around in europe.
The route system will be mostly point to point across europe with the hubs stated above offering conections to the rest of the world.
The system would then break up like this Gla would be used as a trans atlantic and posibley some african and asian routes hub for northern europe
Gatwick would have routes conecting with the hole world with lots of conecting pax but also tapping into the londons big O&d market.
Berlin easter european hub aslo conecting to international flights
Sevile would be the latin american gateway.
The airlines objective would be to offer good qulity service for a much cheeper fare than normal flag carriers. The hubs would mostly be for conecting secondry cities pax who want to fly internationaly with the world were there is few services out side europe and offer them a better service for the money and a more relaxed quicker transfer than going throw LHR, CDG or FRA etc.

I frogot i would also have a charter arm to the company offering complete holiday packages this part of the company would mostly use the 752's and mabe 762.
so to sum up 767's for international
737 for low cost
757 for charter and this why i could chop and change my aircraft to suit the market if needed.
