Their primary hubs were National Airport near Washington D.C. and Allegheny County Airport near Pittsburgh. In the 1950s they were the largest US domestic carrier by passenger count (and sometimes by passenger-miles) after the Big Four (American United TWA and Eastern). Their headquarters was in Washington D.C.
