I have not looked into this, but how many carriers are flying LAX-HND with crap slots?
AA needs the exact same restrictions the DOT gave DL flying from SEA. Miss one flt and AA you are out.
You have not looked into it, but are wiling to give us your opinion. Hmm.
The requirement is NOT 365 days a year. Perhaps you should read the route authority docket, before commenting. The fact of the matter is that DL was using it seasonally, not year round. For now, AA is committed to doing the year-round service out of LAX. Trust me, if AA starts losing money, they will give it up and it will go to HA for leisure Hawaii service (for which the timing of the HND slots is more suitable).
