They still want to grow international.
They will still need feed for international.
The feed is going to have to come from somewhere...
Rick I'm not trying to rain on your parade when I post these so don't bite my head off. I'm literally praying you're correct. But being Devil's advocate I'd make the case that this could mean UAL is simply losing an incredible amount of money and is doing any and everything to keep the place afloat. UAL was the first to initiate bag fees because of how bad a pinch they are in. Regional feeders aren't always cheaper. If cutting domestic frequency of flights is the route they want to go then it could make sense to cut the regional flights and do fewer, but fuller, mainline flights. Obviously I'm hoping your correct as it's jobs for all of us but lets not kid ourselves and be unprepared for could come.
