So far United has cut more than 50 daily flights from Houston, 30 of which were just this week, including service to Paris. They don't take effect for a few months still, but have been loaded into the schedule.

Looks like Smisek wasn't bluffing.

Meanwhile, United announced lots of new flights from other hubs today:
SFO to Taipei and Paris
ORD to Monterry MX, Thunder Bay ON, Nassau, Jackson MS, Anchorage
LAX to Kelowna BC
DEN to Williston
IAD to San Salvador
