Is that still the case going forward? With the anticipated level of travelling being much lower even post-COVID19, I can't imagine UA flying into the "flagship city" of all of its partners. UA is bleeding cash and if the demand isn't there, I fully expect them to cut routes until the demand goes back up; whenever that will be.
