True......I was just considering the WB gates in G.

Does this count as a return to Around-the-World service?

We already have around the world service through HKG.

Maybe they are "reallocating" assets to these new flights. All the airlines make a big deal about new routes and quietly depart other markets.

Not leaving any International markets at all. This is all new growth without reducing anywhere else.

I love how we just introduced what will be at least a couple of hundred of the highest paying jobs possible and people are complaining. If SFO is crowded, enjoy the 4-5 bucks a minute waiting for the gate.

Why? Ord is maxed out. Sit in the penalty box, maxed out RJs, hold for gate 30+ min.

Need to crush American, take every new gate possible and grow as available/allowed with the corruption there. Just like NJ.

IAH is in a bad spot with gas prices, ME carriers flying WB in there. Need local $$ to pay some bills

I agree with this but I also personally believe that if there was serious money to be made in Chicago on a new route or two, we would find a way to make it work.

ME carriers fly into IAH because we don’t compete. Most of the W/B there now are ancient junk. We could easily lose HNL, SCL, GIG, GRU,LIM to anyone that came in with reliable equipment built in the last 20 years.
Gas prices????? The oilfield is hot, the rig count is high. This recent oil price dip is not permanent, but the young Turks in ORD don’t understand this market.
