Perfect time for United to step onto MAN-ORD?
Isn't this the same United that dropped the 777 on EWR, dropped the second daily B757 and then dropped Washington? Not sure they've got the traction in market at the mo.
Speaking to people in the know it's not just AA who are trying to kill the ORD route
Galley FM also had BA picking JFK up with 10 abreast B777s! Also BA were selling connections LHR-MAN-ORD. It's more of a different market now, remember just how much of the US legacy traffic was one stop to the House of Mouse and how many better options that has nowadays. Lot's more options on P2P too.
