now for my IAH-SFO commute comment:

Losing IAH-LOS hurt
going from 3 IAH-LHR flights a day on 787/767 to 2 IAH-LHR a day on 777s hurt
IAH economy being less good hurts
needing longer range capability aircraft out of SFO hurt

Long story short, shrinking IAH and growing SFO and most current routes out of IAH don't need ultra long range, means IAH 787 staffing is too high!!
