Personally, I've mostly given up on UA out of LAX given the limited options now left.

I wonder if Kirby & co. are just planning on keeping current market share and praying that they can meaningfully win share back if/whenever Terminal 9 materializes.

Selling off T6 to AA was one of the dumbest things Smisek did, but that isn’t saying much given how terrible he was.
