Doesn't AS have a hub at PDX? I've only been there a few times, but I think I remember there being tons of AS flights.
As for switching carriers, that's something I have done a, "wait and see," after a move. I lived in Arizona for so long, and got used to America West, then US Airways, and American...when I moved to Austin I figured I'd see how it worked to stick with AA (and it has mostly been good, especially since they added AS and B6 as partners, and tons of point-to-point service). But in a place like Houston, with the old CO Hub at IAH, I would think it would make sense to fly UA... Thankfully PHX didn't really have the, "hub penalty," that [MENTION=13354]EmailKid[/MENTION] referenced; probably because WN has also had a significant presence there.
