You can get to SFO, DEN, IAH, ORD, EWR, and (most of the year?) IAD.
It is one of those tweener airports where this is probably the best you can expect from UA.
If DL's increased presence, or AS' established presence, work better for somebody , then that is what they should choose.
Was it great? No. Was it
substantially better? Yes. Losing two hubs in LAX and IAD is a loyalty changing issue plus SEA and don't forget US is out of *A so PHX is out too. I know you really like United and really like defending them but these cuts are a strange thing to go to the mat for.
