1. New SEA-SFO (6x daily eff Mar 28, 7x daily eff Jun 05) on CP E175:

5781 SEASFO 0630-0840
5805 SEASFO 0855-1105*
5734 SEASFO 1000-1210
5736 SEASFO 1200-1410
5738 SEASFO 1515-1725
5742 SEASFO 1730-1940
5787 SEASFO 2025-2235

* eff June 05 2014

5734 SFOSEA 0700-0905
5736 SFOSEA 0915-1120
5738 SFOSEA 1135-1340
5782 SFOSEA 1300-1505*
5742 SFOSEA 1445-1650
5787 SFOSEA 1750-1955

2. SEA-LAX goes to 7x daily in June, utilizing a mix of 6x CP E175 and one Delta A319.

3. SEA-LAS will get an extra frequency in Apr 2014 bringing it to 5x daily.

I'm amazed at the lift DL has added to SEA in the past year, specifically piggybacking AS' routes. SEA-LAX links two of DL's International Gateways. But with SEA-LAS,SFO and a seasonal ANC... wow. Will AS react? Can we gain a frequency to DTW or JFK? Does AS have the lift to react? Or as someone posted in the DL version, is this another nail for VX...
