United reversed the decision to close the 777/787 base in LAX following Americans decision to pull out of so much international flying. United sees an opportunity. Just a few weeks after Vasu’s interview where he claimed to be excited about gaining market share on the backend of the Pandemic. Instead AA will have completely lost the west coast. With the exception of three flights out of Seattle and a trickle out of LA. Disappointing.

United made that decision a few weeks before we made our intl cuts announcement. United is keeping that position open at LAX to support the cargo operation.

FRMS is not just about the distance/ block time but about the associated risks involved to that specific route and builds in mitigating factors. Currently the FRMS routes for United are California-SYD, California-SIN, California-MEL, IAH-SYD, SFO-DEL, EWR-CPT. EWR-BOM, GUM-IHOP.
