I know - I was one of them, and likewise I've come back. (Admittedly I started to divert some of my business to N7 pre-TED because I had to fly to NYC a lot and preferred nonstops.) But it doesn't change that mainlining LAS reduces revenue seats and that's why I believe the typical UA beancounting management will hold out longest on restoring F to LAS, because they think they have the most to lose here. Hopefully I'll be wrong, but I don't hold out much hope. We all know that if UA was smart, TED would never have happened.
