They would probably do a lot better switching to PSP, Palm Springs (for which ONT is the "alternative airport", an hour or so away by car). And there would be even more market from October through May for multiple OAK-PSP flights as well (to go up against Alaska's and United's way overpriced SFO-PSP flights).
