So, this can have a long term effect on HK. It seems cutting ORD-HKG gives people the opportunity to try CX or other *A one-stop options (e.g. via ICN, NRT, TPE, YVR, YYZ). Is that good for the long run?

So UA is supposed to run a flight at a substantial loss in order to make sure that the customers -- who aren't booking the flight, which is the problem -- don't think to try other airlines?
