I know ONT recently attracted Air China for a couple times a week in the near future.

Take a look UA and if you build it they will come.
I felt UA has gone backwards at ONT. Sure, maybe the ONT-LAX flight wasn't really a viable route (but very cool). However, too many non-jet to hubs is just no fun.

ONT has no curfew and seeing AA put in a late-night to DFW on certain days and ORD is very interesting. Frankly, AA would do nothing at ONT unless it shows demand so UA needs to really take a look at its surrounding LAX operations.
