I can't imagine they will seriously try to fight for premium cabin market share with UA at IAD.
I didn't realize that DL had D1 service in LAX-DCA. Why is AA even bothering? No one is going to fly AA LAX-WAS against D1's product or UA's frequency.

(For those who don't remember, LAX-IAD was flown by AA back in the day. It was a longstanding AA route, in fact.)
