Delta probably agrees with you. It is important enough to run from any US gateway if they can break even on it or lose a small amount. Not lose $20 million annually. I'm sure they are running the numbers quarterly from all of their gateways and if things change, it will come back.

And considering that UA had to write down the asset value of its routes to HKG substantially, nobody is thinking that profitability on the HKG routes is getting better anytime soon.
