We'll see new trips and flying for sure but I don't think you'll see large scale aircraft movements for some time.
Betcha dollars to doughnuts that before the end of 09 we will see GRU-ATL-NRT,ATL-TLV on the 744.ATL-Lagos and ATL-Satiago or other SA destinations on the 330,DTW-PVG on the 777 and SEA-NRT on the 7ER and that's just the tip of the iceburg.DL will move to strengthen the DL hub to NW hub flying and rumor has it that the 9 works well in ATL, the 320/319 works well in CVG,the MD-88/90 works well in MSP/DTW and the beat goes on.Lots of DH untill SOC.Again it's my opinion but I've heard lots of rumblings.
