But

The flights to Chicago, Denver and Fort Lauderdale were among Virgin America's core routes from San Francisco before its takeover by Alaska, but business travelers were known to complain about the sparse frequency of the flights.
In other words, VX wasn't really competitive on these routes before the merger. AS either isn't willing to burn more money or actually has productive things to do with those planes. Not clear what that is, though....
