So on that note I have 2 questions.

1) If we win JAL might we see DFW-NRT flights? Right now AMR does their flights for them and there are 2 per day on the 772s. JAL pulled out and allowed the code share to do the flights but now?

2) For muscle flexing purposes could we get either AF/KLM or JAL to allow us to do feed on their behalf? To see a DAL widebody in DFW would get a lot of folks attention, especially in the Dallas area and maybe create presence in an inverse way- start big and then go small thanks to Skyteam. I'm sure they'd love to get an American partner in Dallas.
