So, reductions in cities served?
We already saw it with the E120 retirements, so I'm sure UA will drop a few more stations at this tier as well. Optimistically, market reductions could also mean feeding certain outstations from one hub instead of two or more. Less convenient for sure, but you can drop a market without abandoning the station entirely.
