I think we're going to see a lot of IAH-Europe and EWR-South America flights with the 787.. it's a real hub-buster, so to speak. I think CLE is going to be downgraded even more, possibly in favour of a focus city on the west coast for asia traffic. Wish I could be hopeful for an expansion in IAH-Asia flights, but it makes it inconvenient for the entire west coast, where I think CO could make some serious inroads when the new metal comes online.
