AS is not really competitive with WN at those airports, which serve a very large chunk of the state's regional passenger traffic.
Not to mention that they (AS+VX) are a distant 5th at LAX as well (and behind WN there, too). WN just announced a lot of new service starting in the spring at airports like SAN and SJC. They're out for the kill. And they have the capital to do it.
