From JG's weekly update:
"Depending on the outcome of the push for more HND slots, we could see Network pursue additional Narita over-flight opportunities."
Not a good sign for the NRT operation.

The company wants to get rid of the category here is a taylor made way to get rid of the category......

However, there are a whole bunch of variables no one knew precisely (how many early outs, summer 13 block, etc)
