So how will the crews and aircraft go? For something like MKE-RSW, will the aircraft fly ORD-MKE-RSW-MKE-ORD? Obviously for places like TPA or MCO there’s greater hub connectivity.

There always seems to be steady demand from CLE to Florida, especially in the winter. UA cut many flights after dehubbing and has been bringing them back. Although Spirit and Jet Blue have Florida routes as well. Now if only they'll bring back CLE-LGA...

I think this is a smart move. While Florida is one of the problem spots, it appears that people still want to go there. Since it is clear the problem isn't going away until a vaccine is available to all, and people have decided they still want to fly for leisure. UA avoiding FL isn't going to do much good. Also, if UA doesn't bring the people there, they will find another way to get there if they really want to go.

I believe Air Canada flies to most, if not all, of the northern cities on that map. However, none of them have nonstops to YVR. I don’t know that an extra SkyRegional flight to YYZ is really all that exciting, but to each their own.

This is a reckless move by United to try and extract revenue and the expense of public health.
