Good question. I would guess United but they barely use their existing gates and they aren't even fighting AA on fares to ORD at the moment. LCCs maybe?

They should really identify a method to eliminate that light in favor of continuous traffic flow from the interstates like ORD or PHL.

Ahh, yeah, fair point.

AA runs 4 non-stops daily to SFO so there's a decent amount of traffic due to banking and technology. United could probably pull enough business traffic to justify the route once SF recovers but I don't know if they'd really want to dedicate a narrow body out of their fleet for the route.

Airport could take 50% of the valet area in the deck and charge Uber a fee per pickup. Everybody wins.

Hyatt regency would be good to see, they generally pair with convention centers. We might get Conrad to compete with the JW. We'll probably never see a Four Seasons... but then again Baltimore has one.

Seattle metro area is 9th in terms of GDP in the US too. Compared to CLT at 21st.

XLRs and more international because of their range even if it recently got clipped a tad. It'll be a while before we see 787s.

AA said they didn't need it so the FAA didn't grant it.

International expansion has to be part of this... I wonder if they move most of the Caribbean flights to MIA and pull transatlantic to CLT, away from PHL. They were basically ready to kill PHL according to the NEA JetBlue court filling.

Yeah, technically possible but probably not as profitable. Not to mention that AA doesn't seem to understand how it wants to to run APAC services.

Charlotte likely won't have direct flights to Asia without a longer runway. Technically it would be possible but probably not profitable due to less cargo capacity. ATL by comparison has as 12.3k ft runway.

50% of them may even be operational.

Hoping this is a sign IAG and AA have decided to increase routing through MAD vs LHR.

These weren't flights they were actually going to fly. They were filed and in the most likely scenario would have been cancelled
