I wonder if UA will cut IAD-ATL or IAD-DFW next? How well does it do on those routes?

It seems Delta has the advantage into/out of ATL, AA into/out DFW similar like AA into/out of MIA, there is plenty of ULCC/LCC competition at DCA and BWI where UA isn't participating with nonstops, and UA can route global traffic from those competitor hub markets though EWR, ORD and IAH similarly.

And do Boston pax fly routes like BOS-IAD-Europe? What's the benefit for that route? I'd think most would not like that backtrack, but at the same time I can't see UA giving up IAD-BOS to JetBlue exclusively. It likely won't even give up on CLE-BOS.
