Interesting that they appear to be sticking with EWR-HKG. I guess long-term hopes for that one rose after United's pullout.

Some of what Gord is doing is hard-nosed gamesmanship, but I'm still surprised at how sick they suddenly are after all this time we've been hearing about how healthy they've become. If nothing else, this should let some gas out of the hype balloon. I remember being at highest elite level during the last bankruptcy...would hate to see that happen again.
