the 757 "used" to. It ended about a year and a half or two years ago. Problem was that the Japanese and the Vietnamese did not want DAL to do the route. Selling O and D tickets was very hard, and the loads suffered. Hence DAL cut it.
Expressjet(ASA) does not have a base there. SKW owns Air Mekong. ASA pilots were allowed to do 13 month LOA's to go fly there with seniority and longevity restored when they returned, but it is a not a US operation. All of those pilots are on contract with Air Mekong. Also Air Mekong does not have a CS agreement with Skyteam, so they do not feed our flights. They are getting two A321's shortly fwiw.
