RIP SJC-NRT.

Last time I flew 128/129 it was part of a GSA contract fare for NRT-LAX. I guess the lack of people actually terminating at NRT or SJC and high number of connecting passengers (SJC to/from LAX, SAN, LAS, etc.) made the route unprofitable despite good load factor. The start of NRT-LAX (after losing the GSA contract) further enhanced the SJC disadvantage, I believe.
