and yet DL has more capacity from LAX than pre-merger AA does as of this summer, DL has started or will start two major long-haul routes from LAX (LHR and PVG) that AA and UA both serve, DL has an average fare advantage over AA from LAX - EVEN CONSIDERING THAT ONE OF DL'S BIGGEST GROWTH MARKETS AT LAX HAS BEEN SEA-LAX WHERE AVERAGE FARES HAVE DROPPED along with other markets in the west.
You and the AA fan club have been hoping that DL would run out of gates at LAX and yet DL keeps growing and more importantly demonstrating better revenue performance at LAX than AA.
and whether AA loses the SEA-HND route or not, AA will serve every long haul route from LAX that AA does and then some - whether AA gets a HND flight or not.
and given that DL has the most codeshares at PVG of any of the 3 airlines and also won't subject its passengers to 10 abreast coach seating on a 777, there is a real good chances that DL could overtake AA in the LAX-PVG market within a couple quarters at best - despite AA's multi-year head start.
