One less CVG flight

The fall schedule for Delta flights out of Syracuse shows only 2 flights to Cincinnati (CVG) instead of the previous 3 with the midday flight being the one cut. This is not as great a loss as it might seem as Delta is paring down the CVG hub with flights to Akron, Toledo, and Lansing being among those eliminated. If the NWA merger goes through, I wouldn't be surprised to see CVG de-hubbed and become a simple spoke city like Syracuse is.
Buffalo-Lancaster and Camillus airports
While taking to train to Buffalo recently, I had the pleasure to go past the previously 2 mentioned airfields as they both parallel the train tracks. They both seemed quite active and on my way back to Syracuse, I saw a plane getting ready to take off from Buffalo Lancaster.
Northwest Emergency
An NWA flight from Detroit to SYR had to make an emergency landing last Sunday due to smoke issues. None of the 45 people on board were hurt and the plane wasn't seriously damaged. The plane type wasn't mentioned but judging by the flight # (3404) I'd say that it's a CRJ-900.
