On the flip side DL is continuing to invest heavily in RDU and if they can even flip 2-3 of the corporate contracts that have business in both RDU and LHR that should provide enough corporate base.

Again almost certainly a no but it's the internet so we can dream right?
I think RDU is more likely than CVG, and DL has a chance to poach customers who need a LHR flight, but also nonstop domestic options. Other than the LHR flight, RDU is an AA outstation.
