There was a UAL commercial about that decades ago. A business was losing their best customers and was going to fly out (on UAL of course)to meet face to face and try to win them back. The old adage "It's easier to keep customers than to get them back." Oh, the irony.

The first half of that article is Doom and Gloom speculation (by the writer) that UA would be better by shrinking Dulles, and pooling IAD's traffic into EWR.
OK, EWR is jam-packed now. So I thought was a bit myopic.
The second half of the article includes input from United, who said shrinkage would be short-term gain; long-term loss.
They cited that if we pulled back, some unbridled newcomer would try to fill the gap, fizzle, and wither.
So I thoughts that was a rare moment of clarity, and made me a little more optimistic than the title implied.
