Not just Florida but overall I'm surprised GSO doesn't have more service in general. While it is only ~760K residents and the 75th largest MSA, they could create drive divert from RDU & CLT especially given high fares. Not a full fledged hub but a focus city maybe for B6?
Keep in mind that the official MSA designation for Greensboro doesn't include either neighboring Winston-Salem or Burlington, both of which are their own defined metro areas. The Piedmont Triad CSA has over 1.6 million residents, although as noted the area leaks a great deal to RDU and CLT.
Good point, I missed that in looking at the list on Wikipedia. I would think B6 or WN or Spirit/Alligiant could do a lot more there...or even Frontier. You would have to have the airport operate like CLT where the costs are low because O&D is limited but a focus city should seemingly work there.
