Hey UA! Sponsor a few events here in Philly; put up a few billboards advertising the benefits of flying in E+ to the west coast! They should also try scheduling a few 757s on the SFO to PHL route and see how the loads are.
Agreed.
I think that the merged UA/CO could make a push to increase service now that they'll have regular flights to IAH, CLE and EWR. These open up a lot more connection options and one-stop destinations for UA travelers out of PHL. A lot of destinations served by US out of PHL currently are very expensive due to little competition and should be ripe for competition.

Did you see anything for LAX-PHL-LAX? I couldn't find anything.
When the service resumes in April there's one N/S flight per day each way. Morning LAX-PHL and evening PHL-LAX.
