I think this is a very good place to bring it up since others may have experienced the same kind of things or have a feeling for trends on this route. I really do remain cool about it since I do not want to see AS discontinue First all together. I am probably not the only one.

Incidently, fares for SEA-LAX have dropped in the past month to $138 or $159 including all taxes peak Friday-Sunday, so that probably has something to do with it. Not sure where these fares were 2 months ago but it has made the SNA-SEA seem pretty empty. My friend said there was only 2 people including him on his flight at 8:30 PM from SNA. I have booked over a dozen of the LAX/SNA-SEA route just in the past month or so.
