And by the same token, AS management should not be surprised at all to find that that F revenue from the Bay Area is drying up. Many, many transcons have no F seats sold a day or two in advance of the flight during peak summer travel when other carriers are sold out. Nobody in their right mind will redeem an award for 70,000 miles each way either. Management has their heads buried very deeply in the sand.
