Given that they didn't pick IAH which is a *A hub, I can only hazard a guess that AI is either looking to make a cross-alliance (see link) side deal with AA or banking on an adequate O&D traffic between DEL and DFW. They could've also made DFW a tag-on from IAH, but that would probably require a...

Yeah we have to see how AA does in this very challenging time. They have much bigger priorities now, sadly. Long term though i can see AA making SEA work for long haul flights, they have AS to feed them. In the challenging times ahead, less risk to fly Asia out of SEA than DFW or ORD. AS has the fe...
