I'll put my bet on MCO, make room on the chip pile.

You don't think the LATAM deal is taking the fight to American already?

The idea would be more because there are so many MIA O&D flights with LATAM's route structure already it would be a good place to network together.

LATAM feed could easily relocate to the ATL.

Regardless, it would be great news for ATL, NYC and DTW, as there would be a giant sucking sound from the top of each category list in those bases.

I'll wager this is nothing but unicorn dream.

Yeah, well F it, I’m up for it!

I'll take Origin and Destination for $500, Alex.

If there is plenty of O&D traffic in MIA, what's the pointing of feeding their flights there?

Exactly. Like the base that has a certain 49% owned airline with four 747’s on the ground at one time....No base

O&D traffic won't fill up a plane. Or more precisely, when it doesn't, you can add discounted feed from other cities to keep the route profitable.

And it lets you add other routes to that city that might not have enough O&D traffic on their own but now will when the connections are factored in.

Your solution wasto move their flights to Atlanta, so how do you plan on working this angle now? If there is so much O&D traffic you think it's better to move their flights to ATL than make the connections in MIA?

The point is that you can now add additional city pairs that might not have O&D traffic on their own to MIA but will with the connections as well as not forcing 3+ legs to connect through ATL or another hub to MIA.
