Oh I agree!! I have no idea what that means for Guam, AirMic + United will be tough.
I have no real statistics, it just seems farmer logic that they were bleeding more cash than us with nothing but big widebodies in NRT. We were flying A320s (then 757s after the SARs recovery) on the "thin routes" going south.
I really think it would be interesting to see load factors and yield out there the last decade. Like I said, no data but I think we did it the smart way while we were holding on during bankruptcy.
Any new rumors from the NRT breakfast club
........I haven't been out there for a few months (going back out later in May).

PS for the fDals, the petri dish of all good rumors are at breakfast in NRT
