...and ExpressJet is all but likely to cease its branded operation sometime this fall. Not guaranteed but expected with the new Continental agreement. If and when that happens GEG will be left without the 100 seats a day to Ontario too!

In 6 months GEG has seen 5 SMF nonstops disappear (3 XJ, 2 QX); 2 SAN nonstops disappear (1 XJ, 1 QX); 4 LAX nonstops disappear (2 DL/XJ, 2 QX); 1 RNO nonstop disappear (XJ); 1 TUS nonstop disappear (XJ). That's 13 nonstops! And it'll be 16 when ExpressJet drops branded service to ONT (2 daily) and SAN (1 daily).

I thought Alaska/Horizon's pulldown of LAX nonstops was silly to begin with. Who wants to ride a Q400 one-stop through Boise? oc2005 is right: it'll be interesting to see if AS brings back the once daily 737 nonstop.
