DL adds SEA-EUG
SEA-EUG will be 3x daily SkyWest CR7 beginning in April.
Sort of surprising considering similar routes to Montana (MSO, BZN and BIL) appear to be going away.
JNU, KTN and SIT resume May 18th.

Is there any indication that the Montana - SEA routes are going away? I haven't seen that. I just flew BZN - SEA last week.

I'm not sure about skiing around MSO. Is it known if MSO will come back next summer?
As for SEA -EUG, I wonder how the market is for that flight? It seems like something for a CRJ-200 if anything.

BZN is pretty seasonal. You have the summer outdoor tourism and Yellowstone and the winter skiing with Big Sky (and to a lesser extent Bridger Bowl) close to BZN. That makes sense as a seasonal destination.

There are strong business ties between SEA and BZN but AS has been the mainstay in the market and was able to drive DL away from a year-round service. (Part of that was DL's doing as 1 CRJ-700/day was hard to compete with AS's offering).

AS/QX runs 3x daily (2x weekends) on this route; there are a fair number of Q400 haters on the AS board who I'm sure will flock to the CR7s, but it will be interesting to see what the equilibrium point of the market will be
