Looks like wn wins again AX surrenders stl den to wn apr 7 i guess 100 percent load factors aint gonna git it. what a waste. they AA cant even protect a good market. they run.Wn should justn take over stl AA dont want it. Pathetic. :down:
aa DROPS STL DEN TO wn
- Thread starter jj
- Start date
So AX abandons a 50-seat RJ route from a former hub to UA's huge hub and it's the end of the world?
When AA drew down STL in 2003, WN added exactly one new flight, an additional STL-LAX frequency. Perhaps WN has added a few more since then, but in reality, nobody swooped in to replace the lost AA capacity. STL had a huge hub with TWA that was bleeding money. One that was far too large for the city's demand. AA gave it a go for 2.5 years but the numbers just weren't there.

Exactly. And CVG, CLE and MEM are about to go through the same experience if the mergers occur.
