well, its a route that AMR flies three times daily with a 738, i think SWA adds one more flight. but while the tickets aren't that expensive evidently its a route with a lot of high valued music folks shuttling between Nashville and L.A.
and now he we come. in the past it sure looks like everyone has their territories on the domestic side and then refrain from infringing on others even if it means capitulating. See Delta/Alaska add an example.
its just interesting we are bowing up and pushing into such a route into a hub that we seem to be handing over to Alaska.
