Actually, the Asia min-hub was out of PDX, not LAX. The LAX facility was aquired with the Western Airlines purchase in in 1986 and fully merged into Delta in 1987.

I for one don't see great things for this DL route. The A380 is a much better ride and DL doesn't not have huge feed into LAX. We'll see. It will be a very expesnsive route for them to operate.
