CAPA's analysis on the development:
http://centreforaviation.com/analysi...e-sense-280561
Several interesting points. The situation in IAH is an example of a market where SQ does not have an alternative to UA to provide it with domestic feed, which can be important when the market is down. It's also noteworthy how much larger UA is at both LAX and SFO than VX, AS and B6 combined.
I hope the codeshare is expanded and will eventually lead to a JV. From a consumer perspective, I would rather see more nonstop points such as ORD be added with the two working together, rather than having capacity concentrated into one or two big markets by remaining competitors.
