Completely agree about CLE but IAD is also headed for some change, the revamping of the airport fees only prolonged it for a little bit.
I agree IAD is in for change and most of it will come from EWR. EWR can't expand and absorb any IAD flying. Irregardless of cost we'll need a solid gateway to Europe and that is IAD. Would also make a good location for Central and South American flying. With EWR staying about the same as a NY location.
