Let's see where this evolution is likely to go:

When we allow NRT to be pulled down because it's "less optimum," then we change to do point to point to other places in, say, China... we will then be codesharing with Chinese partners hubs. Our Asia hub gets pulled down, theirs grows while we continue to mitigate our most senior and highest paying jobs. Exactly what the AF/KL JV has done with the nice international flying you used to do on the ER.
