I think you are most correct.
I mean we offer NYC, but so does AMR and they also add BOS and UAL owns EWR.
We offer the north in DTW and MSP, UAL and AMR offer Chicago.
We offer Atlanta, AMR offers DFW and UCAL offers IAH. I actually think connection wise Atlanta is still better than IAH and DFW.
AMR offers MIA, neither us nor UAL own a hub in FL.
We have a lot of service out of DCA but UAL owns IAD and everyone serves DCA.
We offer SLC and UAL offers DEN.
We offer LAX and SEA (mostly via Alaska) and UAL offers LAX and SFO and AMR is in LAX too.
