Smaller O/D market
More govt work / contractors
Domestic or Fly America travel
Too far to connect with QF (while DFW can connect with QF)

IF they ever bring the A 380 here, that will be wide open for awards at the last minute

I note that F class opens up 5 days ahead from DC (mostly empty loads in F, I think)

Also, with the fly america act in place all of the government travel to the ME has to take UA (or DL for the time being).
