I guess DCA-DAL just dropped off then as well. I had noticed some people staying on for SEA coming out of DCA and formerly LGA. Seems like the long way but I guess the price was right. Those flights did make DAL an AS mini-hub

. I guess they weren't routing strategic for them but certainly had value to WN! Just like anything out of PAE has value to AS.
