"At LAX, United became the latest major carrier to announce a
substantial reduction in service starting after Labor Day. Delta,
LAX's fourth-largest carrier, said earlier this month that it would
drop about 33 of its 93 flights from LAX and slash nonstop regional
service to 13 cities.

As a whole, LAX is expected to lose about 16% of its flights this
fall. By November, the number of daily operations -- takeoffs and
landings -- is expected to fall to 1,400, a 36% drop from its peak in
the fall of 2000."
