I don't think it'll be a "growth opportunity" for CLT at all, but I think you'd see some reductions at either ATL or IAD. There are some places you just wouldn't need to serve with current frequencies from both.
US is gone if UA and DL hookup. The DL network makes the entire US contribution to Star (the southeast and the Caribbean) disposable.
Perhaps, but then again I'd be willing to bet that there are significant agreements and contracts that would make this difficult to do on a near-term basis.
