The Hub and Spoke system relies somewhat on the fact that a pretty
good number of the passengers want to go to the hub cities.

No, it doesn't. FedEx uses the H&S, for example, with a *very* limited
number of passengers. The model is merely a means of moving large
numbers of objects (passengers, freight, etc.) efficiently.

FedEx uses the 'Mother of All H&S" systems but overnight envelopes don't
mind sitting in a box on the ramp for a couple of hours.

Name me one passenger airline that's main hub isn't co-located with a high
passenger target location.

If this wasn't the case the airlines would have all built airports out in
the middle of nowhere for next to nothing and Hub'd out them.
