Am I the only one who wishes they would bump up frequencies to important first-tier cities like PHL or ATL before opening weird long thin 4x/week routes to second-tier destinations like CHS?

Chances are they have some guarantees on SEA-CHS so it should be relatively low risk. How are they doing on SEA-ATL, I suspect DL is not rolling over on that route. SEA-PHL frequently sees a 739 and AA has ~4 flts a day in the summer. I think a 2nd frequency in the summer is possible but doubtful in the winter.

The Boeing plant in CHS makes it seem like a perfectly sensible candidate for a SEA nonstop to me (as AS notes in their press release).
