Also SEA-ATL and another DL hub too right? (DTW?)
AS is not taking this encroachment lightly.

Which is why I also predicted that these moves would harm VX the most. They are already hanging by a string, don't know how they can survive a fare war between DL, AS, and UA (increased frequency and all mainline SFO-SEA).
