They'll try to match or surpass WN on any route out of SJC but will leave the PDX-based business travel market to WN, or ask people to drive up to OAK/SFO (of course no F seat on OAK-PDX either, for a few more weeks at least). Bizarre.
"Demand" is irrelevant, it's PRASM and that is a function of ticket price. Looks as though AS runs about $100 cheaper than AA. Maybe that's the reason for the no evening flight.
AS likely has that aircraft repurposed to a more profitable route.
