Roughly how long does it take to fix something like this? UX doesn't have a huge fleet of widebodies so it seems like having this one out of service will hurt.

I assume that CPH is going to take on some of the connecting capacity lost by constraints at AMS.

On another forum, it was said that there were talks planned today (Friday) to see if things could be averted which may explain the lack of cancellations thus far.

I realize that service into and out of Florida is saturated, leading to low yields in many markets. Is this true of *intra*-Florida flying though. (I have no idea, thus why I am asking). TPA-MIA for example always looks pretty costly for the stage length.

Jump to postLHR has been weaker on yeilds for the US carriers as of late. UA has mentioned that, and even reduced EWR-LHR this summer (I think leasing out the unused slots).
It's likely not quite the same scenario at AA since they have the BA connecting hub, but DL and UA are highly O&D for LHR.

UA can definitely make CPH work, I think UA just decided that with the limited extra res courses they have it is better to go after other routes.

Jump to postFWIW, I don't think this drawdown of the 'focus city' flights in AUS damages AA at AUS.
