I don't disagree but I also don't think AS has done what it takes to make money at OAK. As a savvy business adviser once told me, if you ignore your potential customers, they'll be sure to ignore you. I think AS could claw back share from WN at OAK but I don't think they have the stomach for it. This is especially true after the one-two punch of the financial burden of the VS acquisition and the fact that it got them a big presence at SFO which, ironically, they don't seem to be fully capitalizing on. IMHO, AS is in the slow motion process of screwing up their Bay Area business.
