Why do you think that equal amount of flying in a JV is "fantastic" for one side?
I'd say Delta flying 100% of it would be fantastic!
Or if we set up a Narita-like hub in PVG and flew Delta metal to 16-20 Asian destinations - that would be even more fantastic!! Too bad it's not on your agenda to promote for some reason.
Why promote fantasy. Reality is all that matters.
The Narita hub sounds like a great idea. Will it be able to generate a profit with modern aircraft overflying Narita? What would happen if the Japanese government were to open a second international hub closer to the city and kill the Narita yields? Could you still run a profitable hub? You can’t move it if you don’t because you will never get 5th freedom rights anywhere else.
