I think the most interesting thing to watch will be what happens when Delta is told they can stay permanently past the extended date and UA is now left holding the bag with 12 flights a day to/from DAL - IAH. UA will not be laughing then. Rookie move on UA's part. But, doesn't surprise me one bit. That's the difference between Delta, who prints money and UA, who basically turns a profit thanks to there industry leading revenue from ancillary items.
