I was surprised too. Finkface confirmed it on a SEA-HNL flight. A few less lines of code for IT.

50% bonus EQM stacked on COS, blocked seating, cheap F fares, hassel free refunds, first quarter rollover, opportunity to earn EQM on the ground and joinging OW later in the year. I guess if AS flies in your market, they want you to be flying with them. Perhaps there is a reason their passenger counts went from 4% in April to 54% now, compared to 2019. Overall, I believe AS has been very generous and it will pay dividends through the recovery and into the "Horizon."

YLW is gone for August. I had booked a flight YLW-SEA-JFK for August 4th. I don't need the flight anymore but interested to see what they offer, if anything. AC YLW-YVR (127 miles) in BE, Q400 service is USD $115 one-way. I am saddened when I see ORD-LAX non-stops in Main for $89 or ORD-PDX/SEA-LAX through fares for $117. SEA-PVR return in F is 4.38 cpm for EQM. I shoot for 90K at or below 5 cpm. That is a challenge.
