However, I do wonder if UA is going to bother with LAX-ICN despite Asiana leaving Star Alliance, and if they would ever consider LAX-MNL (I have to think DL is going to fly to SIN and MNL at LAX over SEA). Smisek-era strategy would have been content simply staying holed up the coast at SFO, but with the amount of widebodies UA has, perhaps there is room to further compete.
I wonder if UA will ever add a LAX-MNL or third SFO-MNL (depends on how well the 2nd one does)
