That's my main route as well. I also miss the mainline service even though I do appreciate the QX service and free beer. There's nothing like having more room on a 737 vs a CRJ or Q400. Sadly, I think the yield's were going down on this route due to WN. A lot of my friends up in PDX first think of Southwest when booking a flight somewhere. Somewhere AS droppped the ball on their marketing. It was probably about the same time the "For the same low price, you just get more" commericals were stopped.
