"According to Farecast.com, Virgin America has grabbed 19 percent of the market share in the San Francisco-Seattle market. Alaska has more than twice that share, followed by United Airlines."

Good job VX. Though I wonder where the market share info is from. However, something doesn't seem right. Currently AS has 6 SEA-SFO flights (according to the article) and UA has 7 (UA.com, 5/9/08). If VX has 19% and AS has 38% then UA has 43%. Or am I misreading the article?
SEA could end up being a good station for VX. Can't wait for the additional SFO flights.

Makes sense. But what connection options are there SEA-SFO not AS or UA? I think I may have misread the article though, it states that Alaska has over 2X the market share, not 2X the market share. So maybe AS38+, UA38-, VX19=100 (assuming no connections, which I can't see a viable--non MR--one)
