Why does DAL allow it? At this point, I believe, it keeps AA in check and prevents UAL from becoming a competitor.
I truly don’t know what they will do going forward but it’s AA’s best interest to limit what UAL does in JFK.
Interesting take. It certainly does keep the competition stable in NYC.
DL growing BOS keeps JB from getting a dominant hub with which they could further subsidize expansion in JFK or other hubs.
