But apparently they really don't want people choosing them.

FYI, the AQ is direct (one stop!), HA is non-stop. Nobody flies AQ to Vegas anymore. Nobody. That flight should terminate in OAK. Even AQ employees hate to fly AQ to Vegas! That's right: AQ employees prefer HA over their own airline for flying to Vegas! How do I know that? Because I was cabin-mates with some on HA! They said "Shhhhh. No tell nobody." Except my friends on FlyerTalk!
