I guess I can add anywhere to SIN to the "what route do you wish DL served?" thread. Seemed like it was only a matter a time before this happened, given the decreased economic advantage of international hubs, and HND seems better to serve Tokyo O/D traffic. But as a passenger though, it doesn't fully sit right that you can't get to TPE, HKG, or SIN on DL metal, especially considering PMNW's robust Asian network. (I do understand that the business case is different than the passenger perspective). Lots of folks keep pointing to the expansion of SEA's international arrivals facility before DL re-enters the TPAC market, but I'm starting to wonder how they'll use the extra capacity...I'm not terribly optimistic that they'll use it to re-open up routes to stations they're pulling out of.
