We all can agree that UA has really shrunk considerably in the WAS market. Over at BWI, UA has axed many flights and shrunk capacity on many routes.

Through May 2013 for BWI, UA's total enplanement and deplanement has shrunk around or close to 10% and the trend is not even close to leveling out.

DCA's UA ops, OTOH, is probably holding steady. One of the perks of a slot controlled airport, airlines think twice, maybe thrice, before axing a route or reducing frequencies.

Didn't UA pax largely finance DL/US/AA's passengers with a spanking new A/B concourse?

It is time to turn the tables and have the other airlines return the favor.
