are these once weekly flights anything more than a dog and pony show? UA is trying to pull the same thing right now (i recently learned from FT) on IAH-RNO on Saturdays. i can't imagine 70 seats each direction per week is really doing that much for the bottom line. why even bother?

Cody was the flight i was referring to in my rant, along with IAH-RNO. I just can't see how those 70 seats a week justify their own existence and as you both know I'm far from a route cutting apologist.

A lot of vacation/VFR markets get once weekly service or service increases.

I wish these press releases would be a bout more upfront that it is express and not UA proper with the service!
I remember when UA flew to BGR in the 80's/90's. I went to college in Maine, and I would drive to BGR to catch the UA flight to ORD via PWM on the 727. The flight to PWM was 90 miles or so, about 25 minutes is the air!

Who knows? Maybe they can work it in with their frequent OSL/ARN/MAN/GLA/etc-BGR 757 service!

I am absolutely thrilled. The June flights are clearly targeted to tourists. Hopefully the early flights in July and August perform well - they shave off about 2 hours for me compared with connecting in DTW on DL to MKE. And it isn't on a CRJ or ERJ to boot!
That makes two of us. I like United, but not enough to drive 2 hours to PWM.

Similarly, I think ORD-COD is about the "east-coast-to-Yellowstone" market.
