I know AS still flies there, as I said, I was on the route 3 weeks ago. Is removing AS Airbus equipment supposed to change that? If you are still clenching to VX then I would agree VX doesn't fly the route anymore because it is a defunct airline. GONE.
I am not sure of your point but likely disinterested if you insist on referencing me negatively with respect to Alaska's Airbus Fleet.
Thank you,

I'll note that removing the Airbus from that route would be a negative in the eyes of most customers. The ETOPS-certified Airbi were all very young and definitely a better ride (esp in F) for 4-5 hours to Hawaii.
My remark has nothing to do with whether VX still flies the route or not. Obviously VX stopped flying the route in Jan when the single operating certificate was obtained.
