I can hope for a weather waiver but this is CA folks, other than some fog, the only weather we've had the last few years is 75 sunny and dry. LOL.

Lesson learned and for these short hauls esp intra-CA, WN is a no brainer.
WN flies to Chico? Not that UA will much longer; lots of short UX flights are going away. I wouldn't discount weather issues at SFO though; doesn't take more than drizzle to shut down parallel runways and cancel UX flights due to capacity issues.
