Same for the late SAN-SJC - flight 1105.

Currently something of a downgrade for elites - fewer F and Y+ seats - fortunately a short flight.
Noticed that one of my regular routes (STL-SAN) has also been upgauged from an E175 to 737 later this year. WN is the only nonstop competition for this route also. After the initial shock wore off, I had the same thought... that it's actually potentially a downgrade in some ways. The mainline service will be nice, but I'll miss the single seat side.
