I can't see an AS Bay Area flight either. "OK, so you can take UA to China/Japan/etc, or you can combine AS+, uh, HU or JL I guess? And oh, look, UA's now selling flights out of XNA for $15. Good times, I guess we like losing money."

If AS is basically blowing off corporate business by not offering a competitive transcon product out of SFO/LAX, chasing after Walmart in XNA (when they can offer ZERO connectivity east of XNA) seems a bit schizophrenic.
