I'm asking the same question! It should have been argued, if not the last 60, definitely when ASA broke out of the West Coast and started flying an identical route structure to everyone else, on top of flying the niche stuff in AK and going ETOPS. ASA has evolved too. We're no longer that north/south boutique airline. We're competing with everyone for PAX all over the country. Our "tier", should reflect that.
