Disappointed in the new schedule
Just checked the new schwedule and I see that the braintrust has determined yet again that placing a AS non stop to ONT and BUR from PDX is not in the cards. Unbelievable that they still wont bring oine flight a day to those markets from PDX. I mention it everytime I get the chance to anyone at AS that will listen and although the pat answer is hmmmmm maybe that is a good idea we should look into that. Nothing. Having written to Management and expressed opinions at Gold Luncheons, sending in comment cards and numerous emails...... with no apparent success anyone have any ideas. One flight a day each way is not a lot to expect form Alaska or is it?

Let me go out on a limb. But I have a feeling the people running the airline probably know where they're going to make a profit.
If we could get a non stop PHX-BOI that would make me way happy but I don't see it happening.

I too am not to thrilled with the new schedule. I used to be able to catch a 5:00pm SEA-PHX and connect to BOI, but now the flights are 2:30pm and 7:30pm so I have to take that time off of work to drive to PHX to catch the plane.... *sigh*

My conspiracy theory (maybe it's not even a conspiracy) is that AS underserves ANC-PDX on purpose to subsidize the QX shuttle between SEA-PDX.
Anyway, it will be nice, and appreciated, to see the larger aircraft on this route.
