You've got to be kidding me. However, this should be a winter seasonal anyway. With the amount of Alaskans who bought places in AZ during the national recession, there must be enough demand to justify at least a 5X weekly nonstop. These are the types of folks who would pay quite a bit extra for a 4.5 to 5 hour direct compared to a 6.5+ hour one-stop.
