Speaking of fare construction, I've noticed the pricing from EUG via SEA/PDX vs originating in PDX on many flights now appears to be separate fares. Was nice to have fares near to PDX prices without driving or overnighting.
I certainly hope that soon they'll add more flights from EUG to SFO to feed those connections. Traveling for business, at some point it gets harder to justify the hairpin north to SEA before heading south.
On top of that, they are operating Q400s while UA has been using mainline equipment on that route for several months now. If AS were to follow suit, or at least move to the E175, it would be in line with their now more California-centric strategy.
