AS presence at BUR shriveling up. Joining ONT and OAK (and of course LGB) as the ignored secondary airports in CA.

And up against both UA & AA on RDM-LAX. I wonder how much this is speculative.

JSX just sent a flash sale email OAK/BFI. That would be my first choice, price similar, to and from Seattle.

I'd love to see either an early morning PDX-BUR that lands right at 7 am, or a late evening PDX-BUR. The curfew rules out anything getting in after 10pm, but given the loads when I fly out of BUR, I'd suspect they could fill a morning E75 PDX-BUR.

These are great additions especially for my RDM friends but sad to see a PNW expansion that excludes PDX..

How on earth can RDM support three different airlines operating RDM-LAX ?
This is a route destined for failure.

The question is if RDM can support 3 flights a day to LAX, and it probably can. UA, AA, and AS are all just 1x daily.

Keep in​​​ mind that MFR will have 4.5 daily flights to LAX next summer. It's possible RDM has been underserved.

...and the re-inaugural of ANC-SFO April 21 has been cut Just checked EF and its no longer listed.

I know, not a big surprise with the virus, but still did hold out some hope for dim sum.

Wonder if AS will fly this route nonstop at all this season? Wonder if I should try to get moved to it?

And when I try to pull up my res:

Not many places for dim sum open, take out only, and you'd be lucky to find a hotel room in which to eat your food, which will be cold by the time you get there. Stay away! See you in a few months. I expect this route isn't going to be here this year, as I expect that the Princess Petridish, the Carnival COVID, and the Royal Carribean Cemetery of the Seas won't need a lot of AS feed in the event that any of these fine boats operate.

Very much aware of this- one of my favorite spots is "take out only" a tiny counter- cheap, but soo tasty.

Hope they make it through. Glad I got to try it one last time in February.

And suspect the route might not make it... and may not resurface, anytime soon.
