It used to be the easiest of the transcons for me. I've missed it several times this year, though. Would have cleared most recently had they not cancelled the earlier A320 (which took away 12C seats as they reaccomodated the A320's pax); as it was, I finished 5th out of about 73 on the list.

On the upside, it will be showing up on IAD-SFO.
