This has been coming for awhile. It's been obvious AS was concentrating on SAN with things like forced connections out of Seattle to, for example, Tampa. They have yet to have the "infrastructure" such as a decent lounge to manage the extra traffic so have put a lot of us into "never through SAN:" again club. Hope it ends up being a whole lot better than it's been recently as I don't mind an extra couple of hours if the fares make it worth my while as I do SEA TPA a lot.Bet it will be a popular base for crew!
