Y'all realize that the "change" I was describing there was from having a profitable LAX operation to one that is not profitable by growing on intra-California routes, right??

Operating those routes would be a blood bath. Even if the planes were free it would be a very, very challenging market.

And the west coast stuff was E90 for a while. It was an operational nightmare. Part of that was because the E90s were a total mess early on (compared to the only mostly mess today). But also because there wasn't a good way to rotate them through the operation on the east coast, reducing utilization and flexibility.
