Does anyone have the numbers?

UA was running every 30 min's for a short time around 1989 (cancelling every other flt), when DL started hourly service and DL had a special lounge in terminal 6 just for the SFO flts. DL failed back then. UA went back to hourly flts. I think AA jumped in - also and bailed on the hourly service.

I also remember PSA and AIR Cal on this run. UA was the leader. I would love to see the numbers today. I am sure UA is well ahead as this is hub-hub.

I have been on four of these flts on DL and booze and food is included, even in Y. UA?

Step up UA.
