Kinda.More like the legacies are much worse at actually selling those seats. I've found VX does a pretty good job of selling out. Even with the first fares increasing over the last 6 months, they're still good a getting from F8 to F0.
But I feel your pain. It's lack of inventory that has me usually going UA. I book late and just can't seem to get VX seats on the flights I want. Day of? Fuggeddaboutit.
