Low priced FCM offers into SFO are going to be a rarity.

Thanks, StayingHomeIsBetter and good to know. I just buy P/A fares these days, so I don't gamble with instruments and FCM. Still, I've looked a few times at routing through ATL to SFO just on a lark and seeing the 737s thought, there is no way those flights are not going out full up front with non-FCM pax.
Therefore, D1 and PS for me via JFK and EWR, respectively. It's just too long a ride.
