Canadian routes are doing great, I initially thought YVR might be affected given the proximity to SEA, but it's clearly not. The weakness in IAH really makes me wonder about EVA's DFW-TPE launching later this year.
The big changes to look out for are going to be BR's increase to 10x weekly and JX going daily out of SEA. I actually don't think the Dec LFs are screaming immediate route cancellations. Keep in mind the Taiwanese carriers have strong cargo operations too.
IAH-TPE and JFK-TPE are payload restricted during winter schedule as Russian airspace is not available. It has nothing to do with DL.
Cargo is strong for BR and CI so CI likely doesn't care if their loading at SEA is not that great. Unlike DL, they rather up the $ and pick up less passengers for cargo (and they can afford to cancel a direct cargo or two).
