I cannot see the Japanese government giving all the international lift to ANA, but then again, there is not much open about Open-Skies.

I see some more big jet lift for the pacific rim. I also see us up-gauging some of our feed to our flights. (I think that places like DFW,LAX,ORD,SFO,JFK etc stand to lose 400-1000 seats a day to NRT alone in JAL truly cuts that many routes.
