I"ve started this, because I have VALID questions about AA/China. ..... I'm sure everyone else does as well !
If AA does NOT get this(soon to be announced) China award, what's the "next step" ?
By the time the next award comes about, I predict that DL would be a "hands down" sure bet, to get into china.
(Competative reasons, plus A huge hub/feed like ATL)
Should the current pending award go to CO, I think "this" would be AA's "worst case scenario"(think EWR/NYC)
It's one thing to have to continue to put up with UAL and NW "owning" Asia, but to add a third carrier to the mix(CO?), could prove to be VERY difficult !
I'm not insinuating AA should rush out to buy NW, BUT....BUT I can't see AA waiting around patiently, for Santa Claus to put additional China routes under AA's XMAS tree.
