I can say that in the before times when I was regularly on SJC-PAE towards the end of the week, the flights were pretty full. So I suspect that SJC will come back along with business travel, assuming business travel comes back.
The thread wouldn't be complete without the obligatory posts about Alaska throwing in the towel in the bay area and PDX. PDX doom and gloom posts have been happening since the beginning of Flyer Talk. Bay area posts since the acquisition of VX
