But I would think there's not enough business in JNU to atract WN (given that they need at least about 8 737s flying out of an airport each day to make it work for them), exactlyh BECAUSE it's a standalone small airport, not an "alternate" small airport that can pull in passengers who drive in from all around.

If AS scaled back frequencies to a handful of 734s or 73Gs, I bet they'd carry less folks overall then with their current flocks of Q200s.
