New opportunities at EWR due to change from level 3 to level 2.

Once those 30 E175's start arriving I think you'll see many new routes added from PDX, SJC, SAN and possibly SFO. More SAN-Mexico should be considered now that Volaris is dropping MEX and GDL.

Seriously though, I want sub $100 one way fares to LAX. I want a F option. I want daily, not Alligent's "You'll fly when we say you will" seasonal service.

I'm actually hoping QX BLI-LAS on a E175 for the Jun-Nov fill as it's now only seasonal on AS
I was unimpressed with AS a whole when they went seasonal on BLI-LAS, as not only did the route disappear for the summer, but they doubled the summer and winter prices for the cnx via SEA when the non-stop went away. It's now cheaper to fly out of YVR (and you don't hear that very often).

BLI-LAX started when G4 opened service at LAX. Mostly on the fact that BLI is one of their busier bases.

Speaking of which, do we think they keep or sell off the DAL gates when the time comes?
In the short term, I see them bolstering the CA franchise. There's more to do at SAN. ONT seems like a huge opportunity that someone's eventually going to figure out. And, to a lesser degree, OAK.
