  1. Is anyone as surprised as I am that United requested far fewer flights? And more specifically, only asking for Saturday-only service from IAH (it’s largest Latin American gateway?

  2. The sub $100 walk ups have been fun to watch this week on the west coast. DL really is getting aggressive, and it’s spreading – kind of makes the structure increases less relevant.

  3. Sorry Brett I’m not going to sign up to be a digital subscriber to the Houston Chronicle to read what you said. But from what I already read online, every U.S. carrier applied for routes including AA which seems to think it should be the MIA-HAV shuttle airline.

    1. Just copy the headline, close the page, open google, and paste the headline in the search field. You will be able to read the article w/o being a subscriber.
