Silly UA, while they were dehubbing CLE because Smisek's personal issues even though it was a profitable route, they jumped into a heavy competitive airport such as JFK with no big potentials. 

Ummmm, why?

Happy to see them raise the while flag.

What an airline!

Smisek inherited JFK from PMUA, why do you say they jumped into it?

Will this affect in any way the availability of economy award seats from NYC? Or are they moving and keeping all their flights so it won't?

So they are reducing the number of flights?

As a PS route. Instead of backing out from a hub he does not belong in.

Theyre not going to keep redundant flights.

Was PS way before Smisek came around.
I'm sure he's always wanted to get out of JFK.

So then availability probably will get tougher?

See my ETA. I didn't mean PS, I meant updating the JFK flights to BusinessFirst. Smisek did that some 2 years ago. Why not just back out of JFK or at least don't update them...

I may be missing something, I am just saying the way I see it..

There was always business.

Only thing Smisek did then was yank F out of the planes, but that didn't stop the losses at JFK. Hence the full pullout.
