For CLE service or both CLE/EWR? And what situation could possibly exist that would require the blocking of 9 seats on an ERJ? The flights are incredibly short and can't have much cargo load. I can believe that the planes were shifted to more profitable routes, but this seems a strange assertion.

I sure hope not.

DAL? IAH-DAL is 12x on weekdays, the most frequent route on CO's system. If it's not profitable, they won't be going there that often.

I agree on DAL-IAH. That is CO niche against AA in Texas - get the passengers over to IAH quickly and frequently.

Yep, and competes with WN's DAL-HOU service as well.

As full as both the IAH-DFW and IAH-DAL flights tend to be on weekdays, if they closed DAL, they'd either have to really increase capacity to DFW, or just concede a lot of those passengers to WN and AA.

The DAL-IAH flights are always full -- I know, I am a frequest flier on those routes. I cringe that the thought of CO getting rod of them -- although I highly doubt it to be so! :D
