Most passengers will pay a premium to not connect internationally..there's an enormous International market out there, especially South America to MCO. We will see if UAL ever decides to go this route.
Better wording for us would be lowER yield. As long as we can get higher yields flying WBs on other routes we will do so all year long. Once we do have lots and lots of 787s THEN we may be looking at true MCO hub (2027 and beyond)...
