Im still surprised how much AS is investing in SAN. Look at the waitlists for their JFK flights. They have more F seats left than people on the list. Tonight’s flight has already cleared the waitlist with 4/16 F still open. And that’s not unusual. Look at the next 72 hour window and you’ll see the same thing. Even outside that window Sunday night has U space open. Now compare that to the main lines and it’s a stark difference.
