Tigger, I was referring to Newark and Miami, specifically. They have the exclusive in Miami, so it's a no brainer, but at Newark, one more nonstop, and they are equal to CO.United has never had more than a couple a day, with at least one coming from JFK. I have commuted between those points for over 10 years, and a lot of the nonstop service is seasonal. AS loads seem pretty good, and I must tell you, I do not think I have ever seen a promotional ad for the Alaska service, even when it first began. IAD, with its UA hub, is a different story, but Seattle nonstops are not a big thing from large east coast cities. A second or third frequency in those markets (BOS/EWR/MCO) would likely tip the scale. Likewise, additional future destinations. It all depends on whether these have been money makers thus far. Anybody know how the transcons have performed?
