I know the increased service to kill Virgin has something to do with it, but I've opted for more LAX-EWR-LAX flights lately and I suspect other elites have too--they are cheaper and more readily available. My flights have all been full (above 85% I'd say) so the new service is bringing in more passengers and I have to guess more elites.
But surely you are correct in that this has something to do it with. I've cleared other routes to, though!
