My main point is any way we serve Beijing, shanghai and Hong Kong is not expansion...we are already there. Expansion includes frequencies and destinations. That is what I'm not seeing. The 777 pulled out of HKG, that was picked up by NRT and SEA. Now the 777 is used intra Asia, not its most efficient use which is long haul point to point.

The SEA flying is great, but for the time being we have the equivalent of 2 current 777s, at least, doing a 757-300 job, not to mention the 777s filling in AMS for the 330 seat mods. If there is overflight expansion, you've got 1 cities worth (at least) of point to point capacity available right now. Until I see it, I don't believe it.
