IAH-SNA = 1,346
IAH-SFO = 1,635 miles (4 hours!!)
Many of these are also heavy business routes which sell the F seats. And while nobody really cares about F on DFW-IAH, BOS-EWR, or DCA-EWR, I wonder if they're shooting themselves in the foot with some of these longer routes.
Lest we forget IAH-BDL = 1,507
I was actually thinking.....what if CO pulled the closet and dropped the EF seats in and see how that does BEFORE deciding to take out the last row of F? Then they could put out a press release "Continental adds 20% more capacity on its 737-500's".
