Great. The more overextended airlines losing money, the merrier.
"Exploitation" is a reference to some of the absurd reports that have come out of (I believe) Nigeria.

Is the ORD-BRU flight timing being scheduled with convenient onward connections on incoming Star Alliance member Brussels Airlines? Brussels has a reasonable amount of service to Africa for such a small non-African carrier.

Spring break is a quite popular period of time for US-Africa trips. More so VFR traffic than anything else.

DL exploited NW.
DL will have a stronghold on JNB as long as UA doesn't acquire longer range aircraft. But inside, I was hoping UA would serve JNB, to keep some healthy competition.
