I am a pre-launch VX guy. From day 1, we were a taxi service between LA and NYC for celebrities and movie stars. I literally can't count how many. That all ended with JB mint, and has NEVER been an issue with Alaskan Air.

Have hauled hundreds of Hollyweirders between LAX and SEA over the last 22 years. A few of those 100’s were decent folks...The rest, glad we don’t compete much for their business. 321NEO is definitely the airplane to haul that crowd on though. Going to miss flying it when they are gone.

Today, Alaska announced that Horizon Embraer 175 jets will fly select markets in the state of Alaska starting in October 2020.
“Alaskans who have flown the E175 jet in the Lower 48 have frequently asked when they might see the plane in the state, and we’re thrilled the time has come,” said Marilyn Romano, regional vice president for the state of Alaska. “This jet gives us the flexibility to increase daily frequency between Anchorage and Fairbanks, and to provide year-round service to King Salmon and Dillingham. In time, the new mix of aircraft will unlock other markets in the state for future service.”
The E175 aircraft compliments the current Boeing 737 mainline flying in, to and from the state of Alaska and is perfect for many communities where larger jets are not the best option. This includes smaller communities such as King Salmon and Dillingham, which rely on our service to connect the region to the state’s largest city, Anchorage, and our extensive route network. The longer range of the E175, compared to Horizon’s Q400 aircraft, also makes it possible to provide direct service between Seattle and Anchorage, allowing for a highly efficient rotation of regional aircraft into the state.
“Horizon is working hard to position itself as the #1 regional airline in the country, and we’re excited to extend our service north to Alaska,” said Joe Sprague, Horizon president. “Being tapped for this flying is just one example of how Horizon can support Air Group’s recovery. By staying focused on a safe and reliable operation, we can maintain this momentum and be ready for other opportunities that come our way.”

You mean deep in the data.
Maybe there were A-Listers but they didnt pay much. The fare data from Form 41 and Sabre shows that VX had the lowest cabin-wide yields in their transcon markets.
JetBlue isn't leading in those markets from a revenue perspective. Look at Mint fares (in a data source not by doing a Google search) Delta, United, ect are destroying their yeilds.
