You really think it would make sense for us to put widebodies in ATL/DTW/MSP? Please. And btw Delta and AA have both pulled out of SFO so much that neither serves 1 non hub city anymore, not 1.
No to ATL/DTW/MSP, we could not compete in those markets. Delta doesn't need SFO as a hub airport when they have SEA. Delta/SW chased us out of SEA and American is doing a good job along with SW in running us out of LAX. It's good that AA/DL/SW is kinda holding to capacity restraints or we could see a lot of lost jobs and many of our guys on the street.
