They are also now running OO E-175's as the only competition to WN out of SAN to the likes of ABQ, BOI, SJC, SMF, STL, Q400's to destinations like FAT, STS. For those of us based in SAN with LT status on AA, it is not too difficult to earn at least MVP status, keep the best of both worlds.
Work well for those of us in SJC where they also fly to all of the Hawai'ian islands from SJC and OAK (I think all from here) as well as some of the others you mention, maybe with a stop. And the LT PLT on AA gives us that, as you say.

Cheers.
