I think at the Big-3 level alot was replacing retirements which had occurred or were pending in the future. Big-3 "added cities" mostly via regional partners flying planes pained in the brand name of airline, versus flying Boeings and Airbuses into new cities. maybe they got a few new cities here and there, but not like huge growth except Spirit, Frontier, etc some of those players. SWA had some Hawaii and other growth.
my uneducated assessment
