Exactly, and while additional frequencies might help bring down prices on a premium route, the manner in which United is going about this (give me what I want or I’m taking my toys and going home), along with major construction projects underway and planned for JFK, doesn’t speak well for adding slots now for anyone.

If United wants to add that much more capacity, is there a reason why they can’t move wide body aircraft to this route instead of the 757?
