What I heard was that GUM was an emerging opportunity since air micronesia (CAL) was in pullback mode and DAL saw that as an opportunity to fill the void. Additionally, the GUM operation would dovetail well with asia hub operations. The GUM as fallback (to NRT) option was something I have only seen in this thread.

FWIW, it doesn't mean I heard correctly, but what I have posted makes more sense to me.

I am still interested in hearing ACL's surprise in the AE. None of my contacts have any idea what it might be - if anything. A PM would be nice so I can rebalance my displacement preferences.

I've heard the same and just to add, the other NRT rumor is that we need to fill freighter slots, ergo 737s for really small markets that Cal is pulling back from.

Interesting times out here,
