Remember the CO/NW codeshare rules prohibit selling non-stop partner flights. NW cannot sell SFO-IAH or IAH-AUS, but they can sell SFO-IAH-AUS. So, not offering service West Coast-IAH makes sense from that perspective.</font>
Actually, that makes a lot of sense. I imagine most of the persons purchasing tickets from AUS-LAX on NW will be routed via CO ... I doubt there's too many persons who would purchase AUS-DTW-LAX -- unless, of course, the price was right.
