All 3 frequencies in both directions are clearly aimed at LAX pax and not really PHL originating pax. I hope they make some adjustments once the service is up and running, but this could be more of a funtion of available gates earlier in the morning at T3.
I don't know what to think of UA and DL's reactions, but I think UA might bring back the 2nd frequency and DL might bail if their westbound connecting feed to SYD and/or HND isn't good enough.
I don't see UA bringing back additional frequencies after abandoning route. DL's entrance was kind of intriguing, so it's interesting to see how it's holding up.
