They must be expecting a lot of O/D traffic on the route, as I could not find a single connection that uses this flight. I wonder what the load factors are. Anyone been on the flight recently?
SJC is not a big airport for connections, but with WN often it serves as a connection point between the northwest (PDX, SEA) and the southwest (LAX, SAN, etc). It's odd that none of the routes from PDX or SEA to DAL leverage the flight ex-SJC. It seems like the schedule should work. Westbound, there are connections from DAL-SJC onward to both PDX and SEA.
