LAX-YLW sure is interesting, but I'd rather see enough frequency to SEA for connections to actually work, which they haven't for the last few years (ultimately a death spiral for the year-round flight, combined with the lamented loss of the Q400s). I really hope YLW returns as a year-round destination.

JFK, MCI, and STL to PVR (and MCI-CUN) are also quite interesting; besides the DAL and LGA flights that were briefly around because AS inherited assets from VX it didn't have a logical use for, are these the first AS flights from east of the Rockies to a destination that is not US west of the Rockies?
