As one who flies the DCA-SEA route, I like that change. The later time arrives around 1020 pm, and I'm too fogged (it's 120 am Eastern time) to get in a rental car then, so end up having to stay at the airport Hilton (a short walk) and then pick up the car in the morning. But, arriving about 1.5 hours earlier -- easier to handle a rental car then. Of course, I realize this is less convenient for the passengers on the DCA-PDX route, so apologize as it's a zero-sum game...
