go ahead and get it locked.... the problem is the AA fan club can't resist trying to turn the thread into an AA vs DL contest. and you just can't stand hearing the truth.
You do realize that DL now has 18% more seats in the JFK-LAX market than AA. AA has cut seats by 12%, B6 has cut by 10% and DL has increased so that market capacity is just about the same. DL is just adding where other carriers have cut.
If you want to talk about the great advantage AA has at LAX, then it is absolutely relevant to ask how they are using their assets, including in one of the top markets both in their network and in the US.
and again, MAH brought JFK-LAX into the discussion just as E said the whole gate deal was an effort to keep the gates out of DL's hands - even though he came back later to say that it was really a deal between AA and UA involving ORD and LAX.
