Or they will change the type of equipment they are using.
sort of like CO moving the 777 to *A hubs from ST hubs and replacing the 777 that went to ST hubs with a 762 or 764 or 752. Or cutting it down to 1 flight from 1+
Could be where CO will now use planes with less capacity, ST Carriers will OpUp theirs. So w/o having looked at whom uses what , say DL might use a smaller plane to FRA or MUC and change its flights into the ST hubs.
Or they can go all out and Declare WAR
and it will be MRs a Plenty, then more people will fly , more seats will be filled, but most likely it will result in a neg affect on the bottom line
