It appears as though the importance and viability of HND might have been a bit overstated.
Well a few weeks ago we had a government affairs guy ride in the back from DCA. He stopped up to say hey and we asked him what the biggest issue for Delta was right now. He said if we can't get Japan to let us move our entire NRT operation to HND and get good slots (I guess we have slots that are almost impossible to make work) then we will shut down the whole operation in Japan and over fly everything. We asked him how likely that was and he said, "Didn't we just announce that we were parking 4 747's" and gave us that look.
