If anything I’d think it might be more likely that DL increases its large w/b percentage.
Maybe or maybe not. Post merger with our previous management team UAL got smaller and gave up a lot of flying. We may have more room in our hubs to grow vs AA & DAL in their hubs. May not happen, but I wouldn’t just rule it out. It is a factor to consider looking forward between all 3 legacies.
