I suspect the same. BJS has enough O&D traffic for them to think less about connections on CA and instead more about the timings of the flight, and connections in Zurich. Also, I'd suppose that connections can still happen through PVG, even though that might be back-tracking for some, and the new ICN flight may also help as ICN is well connected to many parts of PRC.

Is it really? My understanding was that CA stayed at PEK and runs its hub there, with PKX being merely a spoke or a focus city to use terms of US network carriers. MU on the other hand moves to PKX where it won't be cmpeting for capacity with CA. Could be wrong though.
