We could also get crews up to SEA through YVR, BZN, SJC, SMF, PHX, PDX, TUS, and LAS...but our flights from SEA to those stations are infrequent and irregular. But, as others have stated before: within the DCI system, the only constant is change. Time will tell...
Also have to agree with whoever said it before that this is fantastic news that the west coast flying is being shifted to mainline! Hopefully the trend continues
SMF is a possibility too. LAX-SMF and SEA-SMF.
