other than SEA/PDX <—> LAX/SAN/SJC/SFO, how many “shorter” routes have enough trips to where “more frequent service (with) better load factors” would really be a factor?

I’d suggest it’s more about optimizing the distribution of total lift around the entire system ... and it’s more than just the particular flight that you booked; you have to look at what the jet does the rest of the day as well
