Plenty of non-hub cities have much better air service.  (Multiple 
carriers, mainline jets, etc.)  If we were to include ease of access 
in the criteria, we wouldn't need to be so strict as only 
hub/non-hub, but could have a ranking that went from something like 
hub, hublet, multiple carriers with some intercontinental, multiple 
carriers with mainline jets, regional carriers only.
