Yes, we know they don't want to invest in a product to be able to compete. That would be a rational explanation for those particular routes but they have cut much more than that. Just the downgrades from mainline to E175s cut a huge amount of seats in many other markets from SFO--not to mention the many routes that were added and promptly withdrawn all together. They haven't been paying any attention to the Bay Area for quite a few years now.
