It may but for how long??? Im sure there will come a time when our HVC's will get tired of transiting our European partner hubs just to get where they need to go. There are some obvious exceptions to this with smaller, second tier cities. But look at the mess AMS went through this summer. CDG is hardly anyone's favorite airport for connections and the same can be said for LHR. There is a reason the market has fragmented to A350s and 787s, flying longer, direct routings over stuffing 400 pax into a large jet (A380) to fly hub to hub. Also, looking at UA's revenue vs ours, their numbers are very close. We do better on the profit side mostly because of AMEX and Trainor. But they do make money flying pax to a lot of direct destinations.
