just saw U availability (doubtless only one seat) on AS3 DCA-SEA for Thurs 29 Aug (just looking vicariously, since I scored the last P seat on AS1085 IAD-SEA for ~$75 less yesterday)

I’ve been on that flight in each direction a couple times a year for ~10 years (~90% upgrade success) and it’s generally been pretty full in the back ... yeah, “butts in seats” isn’t always the same thing as “profitable” but I seriously doubt that flight will be going away
